2010 Christmas Letter

Princess of Love

Carma and Silas at Chuck-E-Cheese Nov 24, 2010. Yes, that is my gorilla hand holding their in the right place for the Chuck-E-cheese camera.

Carma has a boyfriend named Silas. They are in the same class. Her teacher says they are inseparable and when I volunteer at the school it is pretty evident. They are like Ice Skaters who can only be apart for seconds. It is so cute. They are both so innocent and beautiful. I don't know which one is prettier... Silas could pass as a girl he is so pretty.

Carma rides the bus home with the other kindergartners (she is half day). A couple of boys from her class told them to kiss on the lips. She comes home and tells me that she kissed Silas on the lips; I then learn that the boys on the bus told her to. I said "Carma you are too young to kiss boys on the lips, that is for married people to do, not little kids. And besides you don't do something just because other people tell us to, especially when it involves your body." Carma replied "But mom I WANTED to kiss him."... hahaha Should I be worried?

A few days later I ask her what she would do if Kale and Gabe tell her to kiss Silas again. She said, very firmly with her hands out as if to say STOP, "I would say NO!!!! My mom says I am too young to kiss."

I said "Carma what would you do it Silas asks you to kiss him on the lips". She gets these flirty eyes, shakes her finger and says very sweetly and flirtatiously, "Nooooo Siiiiiilaaaas." Michael and I about died laughing. It was top 25 funniest things she has ever said. This girl cracks me up!

She is SUCH a romantic. She LOVES the kissing parts of movies and gets so excited when people kiss and get married. She told me last night "Love is the greatest thing in all of the earth." Very true! and wise... she is only five and she already figured this out. I told her of all the people I know she is the best at love. And it is true, she just loves with all of her heart. Even when Judson is being mean we tell her to tease him back or be firm. She says "no, that will hurt his feelings".
Don't get me wrong, she isn't perfect, but she sure is sweet!
