So, Emily Jo and Jacob Scroggins. My oh my are these two obsessed with each other and they haven't even seen each other daily since August! They went to Red Rockets together from about July of 2013 until August of 2014 at Olathe YMCA Early Learning Center. At that time they parted ways to go to Kindergarten at different schools. But their hearts and thoughts remain very much together in their Kindergarten ways....
I let her invite Jacob and some other friends from YMCA to her birthday party in October. Jacob was the only boy to come (we only invited 2 boys). He did great and the two of them couldn't be happier to see one another. Then at Christmas time she wanted to mail him our card along with some of her "letters" she had written and colored.
His mom, Stacy and I stay in contact casually via text. In February he returned the "hello" with a Valentines package. A few letters, a candy bag AND a plastic ring!!! She was over the moon excited about getting this from Jacob! Stacy informed me Jacob was very particular of Emily Jo's birthday gift (decorative tape, frozen candy land game) and was quite worried about if she would like her ring or not.
His birthday is next Saturday. Its a swimming party at Olathe YMCA. You can only imagine HOW EXCITED this girl is for next Saturday. Its so charming and sweet. Stacy thinks she will be enrolling him into the same summer camp as Emily Jo at Kids R Kids. I've given the teachers a heads up and the count down is on for both of them!
Oh my! So it begins...as much as you can have a boyfriend when you are 6! I try to stay in check with this "boyfriend/girlfriend" status and remind myself of their true innocence and accept their obsession at face value.
