For quite awhile now C has been very reluctant to acknowledge, play with, or speak to most little girls (other than G). I think it started back in preschool but has definitely carried over into kindergarten.
Anytime I ask him if he knows any of the girls in his class I get a terse "I don't play with girls." or "I don't know about girls."
I wasn't sure where all of this was coming from until I overheard this conversation earlier today between C and our neighbor Haiven (age 8).
C: Haiven, do you have a girlfriend?
Haiven: No.
C: Yeah, I'm not friends with any girls either.
NOOOOOOW it all makes sense!!!!!
I took that opportunity to explain that he can be friends with girls without having a "girlfriend." Not sure I convinced him, but it is a start :)
