Girls, girls, girls!

Jamie seems at once fascinated by girls and oblivious to/about them. On the one hand, there is his ongoing interest in Carson and her best friend Sophie. Also, the other day he told me in the car that his friend at school Callista calls him "Janie" as a nickname. He had a sort of silly smile as he reported this and then said, "She says it in such a cute way."

But then the other day we were at the Spring picnic at his school. We were all playing in the gym because it was rainy. We were all playing with boys when two girls from his class came up and dragged him away. Every time he would squirm away from them, they would track him down and drag him back to base in some sort of game of tag. Sarah and I were of course beside ourselves watching this. But the very next day we were talking about the picnic and what he had done and it was as though it hadn't happened. When we reminded him, he sort of said, "Oh yeah," in a vague way and went back to talking about sports and balls.
