Megan and Dylan Are No Longer Sitting In A Tree.

Well, we have finally dealt with our first break-up. Megan's long-term boyfriend of 2 weeks, broke up with her today. He told her, "I'm into another girl, ok?" I can't believe this came from a 2nd grader, by the way! I asked her what she thought about that, and she said she was ok, and that she was glad they were "still friends". And even though I know that when you have a boyfriend or girlfriend in 2nd grade, it was nothing more than a friendship, I couldn't help but feel a little bad for her! In my mommy mind, I couldn't help but wonder, what does that other girl have, that Megan doesn't have? Or Was he looking for a girl who could throw a football? (Megan's a lot like me, in terms of athleticism...we just don't have any.) This whole situation is completely new to me. I don't think I thought of boys as "cute" until 3rd grade, and didn't even have my first boyfriend until 8th grade. And I know the journey of your typical elementary school romance is very short lived, it does give me a bit of a glance at what is to come.....and that scares this mommy!! I think in about 6 or 7 years, I'll be longing for her to have these sweet, innocent friendships. Man, am I DREADING her teen years!!!
