Several months ago, I wrote a post about A having her first crush on Coach C, Her First Big Crush. In the months since then, A has continued to crush on Coach C, providing us with a lot of laughs along the way. In her usual sassy style, A has decided Coach C is the one for her. She writes him letters at school, has me deliver messages via text and Facebook, has a framed snapshot of the two of them in her room, and enjoys every opportunity she gets to see him. We're never quite sure what she might say or do. The last time Coach C was at the house, she went into her room and came out dressed in a fancy dress and shoes, wearing jewelry, and carrying a purse. She then went outside, knocked on the door, and when hubby answered, announced she was there to pick Coach C up for a date. The two of them ate apple dumplings at the kitchen table along with N, hubby, and I. It's a wonder none of us choked trying not to laugh. She accompanied hubby and I to UF when J attended camp in December, and was thrilled to spend nearly the entire day with Coach C after not seeing him for several months. She often claims the two of them will be getting married, and has planned the wedding down to the last detail. In case you're wondering, the wedding cake will be yellow with vanilla frosting, the TP boys will serve as groomsmen, Coach K will be best man, and two of my friends will be bridesmaids. The color scheme will be blue and orange since Coach C is a Gator fan. I manage to listen to all of these plans with a straight face, but once out of her sight, I admit to laughing til I cry. She's just so innocent and cute and I get a kick out of watching her in the throes of her first crush.
You might be wondering how Coach C feels at finding himself the object of A's affections. At first he was shocked, especially after hubby revealed A's crush by asking him if his intentions were honorable. That's a story for another post! Once the shock wore off, Coach C has been a terrific sport, humoring A by playing along and always being conscientious of her tender little heart. He's a wonderful friend to her, and I'm glad her first crush is on someone as terrific as Coach C. He takes all of hubby's razzing about the situation with good humor, and treats A like a little queen. The day before her birthday, she announced to me that she couldn't wait to talk to Coach C the next day. She was sure he'd be calling since it was her birthday. After a quick text from me giving him a heads up, he did exactly that, making my baby girl's birthday extra special. J has gotten past his initial embarrassment over A's crush and laughs along with the rest of us. He also helps keep her crush a closely guarded secret from the team. If it were to become common knowledge, Coach C would never have any peace. The boys would razz him unmercifully, so we keep it on the down low with the team.
A is currently disappointed because Coach C is unable to come over for dinner while he's home on Spring Break. Between his schedule and ours, it just didn't work out and she spent a short time being pouty and sad. But in true A style, she perked up quickly and started making plans for the next time Coach C is home. She can also accompany me to the parent meeting for TP this weekend and give Coach C the hug hubby refused to deliver at work. I've included a few photos of A and Coach C below.
