DS is twelve and came to me this evening to tell me that he has a girlfriend! She is also twelve, in his class at school, and they are apparently "the two fastest at 10x10 grids" which I'm told are a kind of multiplication drill? Anyway, it's clearly significant :P
He came to me to ask me if he could have her around for a "date", and I've said yes. Together we've determined that it will be an after school "date" - she can come over, they'll watch a movie together (from our collection) and then they'll have dinner (he's going to order pizza). DP and I have promised to stay upstairs for this, though it's understood that all the doors will stay open and we'll be popping in to check on them here and there.
DS is SO excited and SO nervous, and I had to excuse myself to the washroom at one point just to have a wee giggle to myself at how sweet this whole thing is!
And just so this is a little more on topic, AIBU in the way I'm handling this, do you think? I sort of figured that if I let it happen in my house, under my supervision, he's much less likely to sneak around with her and do things he's not ready for.
