Tonight's showing: Frozen  6/17/2014 2 Comments Paula's first love letter   Paula came home with a red rose, said that her teacher gave it to her. Later this evening while I was away :( a brave boy named "Jules" stopped by our house to give Paula the letter above. Adrian said he chatted with the boy's dad who invited us over to their house for a visit. This sounds like modern day arranged marriage! My thoughts after reading this letter: 1) Why do some kids think Paula is weird? I asked P how she felt reading that.....she said that she liked being "weird". 2) If we ignore this kid and his parent's invitation - will this devastate the boy? You know, unrequited love? 3) If we do come over and become friends - is this sending the wrong message? I don't want to encourage "love" at this very young age. 4) It's cute that the parents helped their son. I would be the kind of Mom to help Nic when he likes a girl...totally! I am going to call the parents tomorrow... I agree with Jimmy's comments so reached out to his parents. Thanks so much for your comments - I really appreciate hearing from a guy's perspective. I also did some sleuthing (talked to other Moms) and found out that Jules is French. His family lived in SD, then moved to Bali for a few years, came back to SD, then moving again....this time to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. A well traveled young man....see his Mother's response - he sounds adorable!! Paula feels awkward and does not want a play date, but we are going to stop by to give him a little good-bye gift....so I can check this boy out!! Stay tuned.....   I met Jules. Nice kid. He disguised his shyness around Paula by being silly. I think stopping by and saying "good-bye" properly was the right thing to do. Paula made him a friendship bracelet :) His parents are super cool! I really wished I had met them much sooner, they seemed like very interesting people. They're going to open a Thai restaurant in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. He'll be going to a school with a British-curriculum plus 50% Spanish immersion. So many interesting people to meet, so little time.

Only 2 could make it today cause I planned it on Father's Day...I didn't realize it until it was too late... We saw Godzilla - it was age appropriate for them - it was quite entertaining...
