Alex in school

I need to get back to blogging the way I originally meant it to be.....to share short stories about our adventures in China. Lately, it's just been catching up on posting pictures, which I'm not so good about.

But I have a good Alex story that needs to be documented.....

Keri Taverna is the teacher in the room next to Alex's and she has frequent interaction with him. She is my running partner (and a few other things) and she told me a story about him during one of our morning runs.

Alex was pushed by another student in class and this upset Alex. He got his feelings hurt. He was pushed by another boy because Alex was leaning over the boy to try and kiss a girl. Mrs Taverna talked to both boys and made them apologize to each other. Nice..... Keri wouldn't divulge names, she keeps school at school and home at home.

I asked Alex how his day was and if he got in any trouble. Of course, he told me. I told him that I heard he was trying to kiss a girl. He gave me his sweet little smile and said, "yesssss....". I asked him who the girl was and he told me it was Danah. Danah is a pretty little girl that was in his preschool class last year. Turns out he wants to marry her. But also Roshan (another boy in class) wants to marry her. But Alex thinks she is going to marry Lucas (another one of Alex's friends.

Really? 5 year olds?

But then I remembered Elizabeth's friend Ben Pigott and how he wanted to marry her. Must be a phase.

So now every morning, I give Alex a special kiss and tell him that he's not allowed to kiss girls "in school". :)
