Thursday on the way to school, Grace announced, "B. is my boyfriend." Totally surprised, I responded, "What does that mean?" "It means I want to marry him," she said. Thinking on my feet, I replied, "I like B., but you might change your mind about marrying him, and that's okay." Grace considered this, then stated, "Yeah, but I'll still like him." She then proceeded to tell me about how she had taken a lot of time to make him a present — a pinecone with a fern tied around it. When she gave it to him, he tossed it onto the ground.

I told her he probably just doesn't like pinecones.

In the photo, she's holding the "Love Box" she made me and Adam for Valentine's Day. It's a strawberry container, covered in pink paper and filled with treasures like half-finished knitting projects and a plastic bag. Very sweet, but I would have been happy with a pinecone, too! :)
