Yipes! Shortly after writing about how Tucker was longing for a girlfriend in my Christmas letter, Tucker got his wish and announced that he officially had a girlfriend. Her name is Caitlyn (at least I think it's spelled that way and no, I don't know her last name--I'm not even sure Tucker does).She is a Senior at Nathan Hale High School which is across town from where Tucker goes to school. Which of course begs the question "How did they meet?" She is a friend of a girlfriend of one of Tucker's friends--it's complex.
She has had dinner with us once or twice and seems like a very nice girl. She even puts up with Dennis' bad jokes. They spend alot of time at our house and Tucker has not even met her parents yet. Hmmm.
It's still a hard thing as a mom for your boy to have a girlfriend. I can only imagine how traumatic it is to be the mom of a girl with a boyfriend. As you can tell by the cat who just ate the canary smile, Tucker is quite pleased.

No kidding about the canary eatin grin! It IS a bit of an adjustment when they start having "real" friends. Hopefully it will be a positive experience for all concerned.You have to give her credit if she ate dinner and came back for more :0)
Oh, he is just sooo pleased with himself there! Too funny.
I couldn't imagine it would take long if he was so eager to find. It wouldn't be hard to stumble on a host of willing girls.
Oh, it must be excruciating to be a parent.
He looks pretty darn happy. I love the picture. I'm scared for the day when my boys have girlfriends. I think maybe you are lucky to have gone this long without one.
YIPES is right....no matter their age, it seems there is always something new to be working through...I'm sure you and Dennis are being great about it, though!
I just imagine myself throwing up :)
She is cute. That is super crazy though. Tell him he needs to start working on Valentines day, something good, like breaking up with her?
