First Crush

One might think that because I have teenagers, this post would be about one of them, no, you would be wrong. Apparently Mary Elizabeth has her first crush. Today our computer guy from work came out to my house to set up all the computers in my house on a wireless network. I know I probably should have been able to do it myself, but the best way to make sure it is done right is to have a professional do it, right? So anyway, Alan came out to set us up. Well, Mary Elizabeth, who tends to be rather shy around strangers, and even some people she has known for quite some time, took to him in a New York minute. "Where's Alan?" she kept asking. When I made lunch she wanted to make sure that there was a sandwich to take to Alan and, now here is the kicker, she announced as Alan was almost done "I'm going home with Alan." WOW! This is the same kid who will hardly let anyone else other than her parents and siblings even hold her. Luckily for me, Mary Elizabeth had fallen asleep for a nap before Alan finished and was still sleeping when he left and I didn't have to try to explain to her why it really would not work for her to go home with Alan, otherwise who knows what kind of fit we may have experienced. It was quite cute and I'm sure I'll never convince Alan that Mary Elizabeth is shy, and I'll probably never convince anyone who has experience her that Mary Elizabeth was ready to leave us all to go home with someone else.

She never stops surprising us.
