"Mom, I'm in love with her"

Last Sunday, Jackson's buddy, M, joined him at church.  M is a really sweet girl that loves Jesus and has a super kind heart.  She is in his class at school and they actually had play dates together when they were really little since her mom and I were in a new mom's group together.  Jackson was SO excited to see her.  They gave each other a hug and went off to class together. 

After class the teacher told me that they held hands the entire class.  I was floored!  He's never talked about girls in a lovey sort of way before.  When I asked him if he grabbed her hand or if she grabbed his he replied, "I grabbed her hand.  Mom, I am in love with her". 

SAY WHAT?!?! 

My friend Jennifer was standing next to me when he said that and she was holding back her laughter.  I really don't know how I feel about all this! 

We had a conversation later that evening about how there would be plenty of time for him to have "girlfriends" when he is bigger (like 25!) and for right now he should just be good friends.
