Valentines

Brooklyn's first ever Valentine's rose. From a boy. Named Romeo.




I'm not sure I'm on board. Why is my preschooler getting flowers from another preschooler? Shouldn't they be cutting out crooked hearts and overgluing them to pretty construction paper? Or taking turns on the tee-teeter totter? Or sharing lint from their pockets? Or something else.



I think Brooklyn thought it was kind of neat but kind of embarrassing. Romeo apparently couldn't afford to get flowers for the whole class. She did thank him but later I heard her confide to Grandma Lu that Romeo was a bit of a "drip" (Grandma gave her two options "cool" or "drip". I guess "drip" suited him better;) All I know is that at that age I was weeding through the conversation hearts making sure that no boy misunderstood my Valentines to them.



Although I do remember getting my first piece of jewelry from a boy. It was 5th grade. And totally unexpected. And I found out it was stolen. From his sisters jewelry box. How romantic. Happy Valentines Day!
