Twins first double date

All year long since the girls started preschool I ask them after school who they sat by, talked to, etc.  It was always, Siena and Aria, no one else.  Then slowly they started stating who sat on the other side of them and it was always a boy's name.  So I asked them if they ever sat by another girl...the answer was no and seriously I don't think they ever have.  They only have 3 other girls in the class and about 8 or 9 boys.  Then a few months ago they started sitting by the same boys every day.  Aria would always mention Mason and Siena would sit by Jett.

Well in March they came out to the car and announced that they wanted Mason and Jett to come over and play.  They have never before asked for any friend to come over.  Although they are always excited when they do but have never asked for a playdate before...#twinproblems or #twinperks  I wasn't even sure what to do!?  They came home that day and drew both of them pictures and then wanted me to write on it, come over and play.  So after a couple weeks of putting it off hoping they would just kind of forget, I finally wrote notes to their parents and had them delivered with the girls pictures they drew.  The girls were so disappointed that they hadn't texted by the time we finished lunch that day.  Finally that night I got texts from both parents and we arranged a double play date.

The girls were soooo excited. We counted down the days and talked about it non-stop.  One morning I pulled their class pictures out so I could see which one was Mason and Jett.  Aria pointed out Jett and said 'There's Jett, he's so cute,...but Mason's cuter.'  It was very obvious Aria had a crush on Mason.

It was funny to watch the interaction because although all 4 of them played together the whole time, you could tell each boy knew who their 'friend' was they were there to play with.   And the boys didn't even really play with each other which I kind of thought they would.  Siena and Jett played around and had fun but Mason and Aria were side by side with each other the entire time.  So everything was going great until I looked down and saw Mason and Aria holding hands!  Say what??  I was trying not to make it obvious I was taking a picture but I had to.  Then they kind of dropped hands and immediately Mason reached over and grabbed her hand again!  It was just innocent and cute but seriously my stomach got a pit in it.  My little girl...I all of the sudden saw her as a 16 year old dating and liking boys and I could hardly handle it.  The play date was a success.

Siena came home a couple weeks later and announced that Jett had told her he didn't want to sit by her anymore.  I was soo mad but Siena didn't seem to care.  And since then they have sat by each other most days anyways.  Aria's crush continues.  She has already been telling me how much she is going to miss Mason when preschool ends and the saddest news is that he is going to the afternoon preschool next year and we'll be in morning.  Heart break.
