Hi Evan! Hi Noah!
It's happening........ I kid you not......... At this very moment.................. My son is on the phone with a girl! And the conversation from this end sounds a little something like this...
"No." pause "Who wants to know?" pause "I'm not tellin'!" pause "Why are you even calling me?"
Oh! Oh! Wait! The little brother has entered the conversation and is chasing Evan (still on the phone) through the house screaming, "He does too like Katie! He likes Katie! He does!"
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I remember those days. Having your friend call a boy and asking him who he likes. All the while, you're sitting there listening on the other line - Or like we used to do it in the olden days, smashing your ear up to the receiver holding your breath so the boy didn't hear two separate sets of breathing. And trying not to giggle and give your 'secret' away.
All those years of pulling one over on those poor boys.
Me, being the ever helpful and hip mama, decided to 'fill him in' on the secret.
"Psst. Evan. Is she asking you if you like Katie?"
Nod.
"You know Katie is really there with her?" The big reveal!
"Yeah, I know.," Completely irritated by my ignorance.
Touche!
So, today we have entered a new realm. The girls have officially begun to call! And life as I knew it is over, my friends. Over.
And what makes this whole event even scarier is Evan telling me the other day he wanted to kiss Katie!
That's it people! I'm running away now!
Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Hang on tight! The phone just rang again. This time for Noah. And it's his friend Justin calling to tell him that his little sister saw a picture of Noah in the yearbook and thinks he's cute and wants to be his girlfriend!
What is going on here? Two of those phone calls in the same afternoon in the course of 20 minutes!
So, as I was saying earlier.......... Life as I know it is over, my friends. Over. There is no more hope.
Oh wait! Yes, there is! Roxy is flipping over now. Soon she'll be crawling, then walking, then talking, then talking back......... ok, so it's always 'over', huh?
The joys of being a mama!
You know I secretly love all this, don't you?

That is way too scary to contemplate. Good luck - at least your kids seem more aware about what is going on than some!
I don't know why but it makes me sad to think about my son growing up and getting a girlfriend. I know it will happen, but right now, I like him as a mamas boy. :)
Well, good luck with this next phase. It should get interesting!! I'm sure there will be much blogworthy material that will arise!
I hated those days. The attention felt great, but lord, the drama.
Over. Over. Over.
But as scary as it is - that is a cool memory you just witnessed.
Sounds like you are entering one verrrrrry interesting phase :)
I have entered the same realm with my daughter Abigail. The phone calls began about three months ago and have steadily increased.
She's not allowed to have boyfriends yet, but she has many friends who are already "dating". She turned 11 on Sunday.
wait til Roxy is the girl some boy wants to kiss! Life is just getting interesting for you, my friend!
much love...and a double-barrel shotgun!...
This is where caller ID comes in. My 11 and 13 year old daughters had a slumber party, called some boy's dad late at night (while I was sleeping upstairs). Next day, said not-happy father calls and asks if someone from our number called him late last night. CRAP!
Commence lying and prepare to kill two teenagers.
He already knew she was there. lol...that's hilarious!
