The breakup...

Today was quite the day for my sweet Carsen. As some of you may know, he has had a little girlfriend for a while now. At first he was pretty shy about it and no one was able to say a word about it. The lately he has been more open about it saying she was his girlfriend and he loves her ( Yes, thats right, he loves her! What!!??) and that she loves him too. The other day he told me that some kids on the playground dared her to kiss him on the cheek and he told me "Mom I think I really wanted her to." Oh geez!

So, my little guy was in love with this girl. Lela is her name. Carsen has been on cloud nine for a while because of this little gal Lela. They write each other notes in school. "Do you like me?" "I like you" etc, etc.

But today Carsen came home from school bummed. No, not bummed more like really hurt. I asked what was wrong and he told me that Lela broke up with him.

"What? How do you know? " I asked. 

"She wrote me a note that said I want to break up with you." (of course a note how else?)

Carsen was so sad. He was fighting back the tears. Where is the note? 

"I threw it away because I was so mad." he said

"Why did she break up with you? " I asked.

"Because she likes Zac M. now. Today she was hanging out with him all day then later after that she gave me the note.I don't know why she likes him more than me. The other day Lela and I were walking and he came up and kicked us both right in the shins! I want to tell Lela she shouldn't want to be with someone who kicks her! I want to tell Lela that I would never kick her!"

me, trying not to laugh... "Thats right! You would not be mean to someone like that. Cars, she's crazy for breaking up with you"

Poor guy. Do you think he will always remember his first time a girl breaks his heart? 

I told him to still be her friend and to be nice to her even though this has hapened and he told me "I will mom. I still like her, but tomorrow at school is going to be hard to see her."

Oh the 3rd grade drama!!!

Hang in there little buddy!!
