Sierra's marriage proposal

Sierra's best friend is Leighton Rose. They have been connected since they were 3 in Discovery class (preschool). They play at eachother's house and even stay overnight. The 2 of them have a bond like no other. It's really weird how they connected so well. I thought maybe the older they got, things would change, but they haven't. The other boys in school know Sierra's "Leighton's girlfriend" and it's been like that since Kindergarten. I've spoken with other mom's with kids in Sierra's class and they said that their sons talk about Sierra, but that she is "Leighton's girlfriend". Jon and I went to high school with Leighton's parents, so that's just so weird that we even know eachother! Leighton's little bro, Hawken, and Mercedes are now playing together. How weird!

Anyway, Kari and I were emailing and she sent this email on Monday:

>>> KARI ROSE 9/12/06 9:16 AM >>>
"Lastnight Leighton asked if i would snuggle with him. I asked him when
he gets older and moves out if he was gunna come back at night and
snuggle w/ me he says, "I'll come back durring the day but i have to
snuggle with seirra at night u know like u and dad sleep in the same
bed, cuz i'm gunna marry her when i get big" i was speachless!! they
have it all planned out,so cute and how weird if someday they would get
married and they had it all planned out in first grade already what a
sweet story!!!"

I actually copied it as the rest of the email was pretty long, but isn't that sweet? We often talk about how weird that would be if they actually would get married. Sierra has a bond with Leighton like I haven't seen before. He's the only boy she acts the way she does with and to everyone else she's normal. I guess it's just they have a deeper relationship or something. This is the first year they were separated in different classrooms, so that was a bummer. He gave her a butterfly necklace last year for her b-day and I swear that's her favorite one. She hasn't been wearing it as much lately, but when I told her last night what Leighton said, I noticed she had it back on before bedtime. She wore it to school today, too. Kari and joked that apparently, the separation hasn't affected them that much because he still wants to marry her. :0)

Peace.
