um, I didn't think we'd have to deal with this for a while

I'll get right to the point, folks: Rachel has a boyfriend.

His name is Declan.

No, I've never met him. No, I have no idea if he's from good people. I don't even know who his mommy is!

Her take-home report the other day said Rachel enjoys spending time with Declan, one of the Toddler 2s. "Lots of talking and laughing," the report said.

Hmm.

What did you do today at school? I asked Rachel when I picked her up tonight.

"Declan gave hug," she said.

"Declan gave you a HUG?" I asked.

"Declan boyfriend," she said. (To be fair, I had asked her 15 minutes earlier if Declan was her boyfriend. She said yes).

One of the Toddler 2 teachers said the other day that when Rachel and Declan sat in her lap, Rachel leaned onto Declan's back as if to say, "ooh, I love you."

Her world is rapidly expanding. This boyfriend stuff...should I be worried??
