Ryan's First Girlfriend

It seems he has started early, but his first girlfriend is in his preschool class. It became clear to me on Friday when I was pulling up to the school. I saw a little blond girl climbing the stairs to the school doors when Ryan began hopping up and down in his seat shouting "Maggie-Grace, Maggie-Grace, its Maggie-Grace." I couldn't get him out of his car seat quickly enough and he ran up to the stairs. But when he got there he looked up and then just lumbered into the school. I now wonder if his attitude changed because he did not see her there anymore.

So jump forward to the end of school when his teacher tells us that as the kids were lining up in the hall and sitting on the floor waiting to be picked up, Ryan sat down next to Maggie-Grace and put his head on her shoulder. Apparently, the kid on the other side told Ryan that Ryan could put his head on his shoulder, Ryan said, No, I stay with Maggie-Grace!" Is the "girls are yucky" stage coming or did he just pass them by? Only time will tell.
