Boyfriend!

Last night at dinner while the in-laws were here, Laura was counting the people at the table and adding and subtracting the numbers, etc. We were talking about how there were four girls and only two boys, and I jokingly said the girls would need to get boyfriends to even it out. Rachel piped up emphatically, "Well Duke is my boyfriend!" Welllllll okay then!

Laura and Duke's older sister went to nursery school together, so we have known their family since Rachel and Duke were babies. Laura and his sister were best little buds for a while, so Rachel and Duke sort of felt like they needed to be partners, I think. They go to nursery school together now, are in the same gymnastics class, and attend the same library program, so they see a lot of each other.  Anyway, their little romance has been blossoming for a while, I guess, and Rachel even stole a kiss from him one day at pick-up time from nursery school!

Today was his birthday party, and I was telling him mom about what Rachel had said at dinner, and she said, "That's so funny! This morning Porschea (Duke's sister) was talking about her 'boyfriend' and Duke said, 'Well, Rachel is my girlfriend!'"

So there you have it: its official from both of them. ;)

He is the sweetest little guy, and I think he would make a great boyfriend. They're so cute.
