Crushes...puppy love...ahhhhhh!!!! So if Isabella's first crush is any indication of the guys she will be interested in as she grows up...I have complete trust in her:)
It all started last winter:) We were at Lenten dinner at church and went and sat with our neighbors, the McGaughey's, for dessert. The adults were just chatting when all of a sudden we noticed Isabella sitting up very prim and tall and proper and smiling sweetly and batting her eyelashes...at 10 year old Ethan! She was talking so sweetly and politely to Bryan and I, throwing things into the conversation like, "Oh I do that too, Ethan", "Oh Ethan, I have a soccer ball, too" and on and on! Bryan and I caught on to it at the same time and did our best not to crack up!
On the drove home, Isabella comes out of nowhere and says, "That boy Ethan sure is cute!". I agree with her that yes, he is cute and very NICE (emphasizing the 'nice' aspect:). Bryan and I were laughing about it soooooooo hard!
Throughout the spring and summer, Isabella doted after Ethan, giving him her full attention whenever he was around. If she was playing in the backyard and saw him out on his deck, "Hi Ethan, how are you doing? Wanna come play?". If we had Ethan's family over for dinner, Isabella generally would do about 5 costume changes throughout the course of the night. Every day or event seemed to bring about the question, "Are we going to see Ethan? Is Ethan coming over?". If we were over at the McGaughey's for dinner, Isabella followed Ethan around like a puppy dog saying,"Oh Ethan I love soccer too! I've played soccer, Ethan!". Oh that Ethan, he had more patience with her than I ever thought a 10 year old boy could! What an awesome kid!
Out of the blue, Isabella would say, "Oh I just love Ethan" and we would simply agree with her that Ethan is a nice boy and a great friend. Sometimes she would be singing her little made up songs and we would hear, "Oh Ethan, my boyfriend, I love him"...it was so funny. She was head over heels for the big E!:) So cute!
And truth be told...our whole family loves Ethan! We're great friends with his parents and he is a GREAT KID!!! SUPER GREAT KID...one of those rare gems...responsible, respectful, and hardworking! So, Isabella just wait until you're 16 and allowed to date...Mom and Dad would probably give you the go ahead on this one:)
