Boys (already)

Abi wants to marry Shai (a kid from her class) and the feeling is mutual. Shai is going to the same school next year, so we'll see how this progresses. :)

I personally dislike talk of marriage among young kids, because I fear it may make regular cross-gender friendships more difficult. But Abi certainly has other boys that she's friends with, both in school and out, so maybe I'm wrongto worry. In fact, the mother of another classmate, Gideon, told me recently that Gideon says Abi is the only girl in their class who regularly plays with the boys.
