Big A has a wife.

Or rather, he has a girlfriend whom will someday be his wife.

Or rather, he has a couple of girlfriend who will someday be his wife and the wives of a few other boys.

These are the things that five-year-olds discuss and plan.

I really thought that the boyfriend/girlfriend husband/wife discussions would come a bit later. After all, isn’t there supposed to a “cooty” phase in there somewhere?!

His main squeeze is an adorable redhead. They share a birthday and last Thursday their birthday fell on the night of the daycare Christmas program. After all of the classes had a turn at singing their songs, the director asked Big A and his Lady to the front of the stage. She announced that it was their birthday and asked the entire audience to sing “Happy Birthday” to them.

It was adorable!

After the show, they walked around together for a while. Here’s the lovely couple. (And notice the cookie crumbs and sprinkles on Big A’s lips…I swear he is Pig Pen when he eats!)

Don’t they make a sweet pair? Notice her bouquet. I think we could start planning the ceremony now.

“Da da da daaaaaa, da da da daaaaaa…”
