CadenWatch

I have mentioned Caroline's "boyfriend" Caden before. I recently found a picture of the two of them at Caroline's third birthday. I can't believe it's been that long!

Well, the two of them don't get to see each other very often now, since they go to different schools, but we still try to get them together as often as possible. They were both devastated yesterday when we had to cancel a playdate because Caden's brother was sick.

Caden said to his mom that Caroline is still his girlfriend, but that she is going to have to be his secret girlfriend. Apparently a boy in his class said that if Caden had a girlfriend they would have to kick him out of the Boy Club.

"So," Caden said, "she's still my girlfriend, but I'm just not going to tell them that."

It made me think of a time when they were younger -- one of Caden's friends told him that girls have Cooties. Caden declared that most girls have Cooties, but not Caroline.

I wonder what forms you have to file for a Cootie-Exemption?
