Girlfriend

Yes, Ryvre has a girlfriend.  Her name is Madison, and they're in the same Sunday school class.  Her mom was their teacher, until last week when they "graduated" to the pre-k class, so she knows all about their relationship, and has been keeping me updated.  She thinks her daughter loves him so much because they're both mature for their age, and he's the only one that understands her.  i can see this.  Apparently she'll do a little dance in class, and Ryvre says: "Oh Madison, that was sooo beautiful."  Oy.  He's just a sucker for a pretty face.  And she loves the attention he gives her.  This is all far too close to the pattern of more mature relationships for my comfort!  He told me yesterday that "all the girls in my class love me"  WHY did he have to be born a scorpio?  Lord help us. 

i know i'm bragging, but he truly is a smart little booger.  His teacher said to me "Ryvre isn't like the other kids..." which of course made me worry LOL.  She said the other day, he looked at a picture and said "N. O. P. A. R. K. I. N. G.  No Parking."  i'm thinking he probably just recognized the sign from seeing it another time and asking what it said, but i'm still impressed.  Another teacher told me almost a year ago (he was three) that the kids going into kindergarten didn't know their letters as well as he does.  And i hadn't tried "teaching" them to him yet.  Of course i'm proud that he picks things up so easily, but more than that i am WORRIED, as a homeschooling parent, because i don't know how i'm going to keep him entertained/interested with acedemics when he catches up to me!
