Pre-K Crush or Slight Obsession....

The P's are in loooooove, full blown boyfriend mode with .........Harry Potter! Forget Bieber Fever, they're Hot for Potter! And it's gettin' scary.

It all started a couple of weeks ago when I returned home from a work trip. ABC Family was airing the entire Harry Potter series from start to finish. I thought it might be a good movie for us to watch, after all I've never seen any of the series so why not? Funny to think that in the earlier movies, the young Harry wasn't so appealing to them- it actually wasn't until The Order of the Phoenix, when Harry is now a teenager that the obsession crush began.

Prior to being exposed to Harry Potter, they thought boys were "disgustin'". The fact that I was actually married to their Dad and kissed him, was out right repulsive.

The P's: Mommy, who's your boyfriend 
Me:  Daddy
The P's: Did you marry Daddy?
Me: Yes, Daddy and I are married
The P's: So, do you have to kiss Daddy?
Me: Yes
The P's ( in unison ) EWWWW GRODIE ( pronounced grow-dee )

All things you expect from 3 & 4 yr old little girls, right? So imagine my surprise when a few months later we're riding down the rode and I over hear Paisley say this in the backseat  "I'm going to put on my princess gown and my lip gloss and I'm going to marry Harry Potter" Do Huh? "Paisley, what did you say? " Presleigh yells in between giggles- "SHE SAID SHE'S GOING TO MARRY HARRY!"  I could not stop laughing and Craig is just sitting there, dumbfounded.

And so it begins, since that day 2 wks ago until right this very minute, Harry Potter has been played on the DVR at least 2x a day and if we say no to replaying it for the 3rd time, take shelter, cause sh*ts about to hit the fan. All day long, Harry this, Harry that... Mom, you know what Harry did... Mom, Harry's my boyfriend, Mom, look, I drawed Harry Potter, Mom, Harry's going to be my prince, Mom, watch this, you gotta watch this part, Mom, where does Harry Potter live- is he at Disneyland? Mommy, Harry's my boyfriend, Mom, Harry, Mom, Harry.... AHHHHHHH!!  What began as a pre-k crush is now a deep obsession and I'm beginning to wonder I there's reason to be concerned! I guess it could be worse, a friend of mine said that when her niece was close to this age she had a crush on Captain Jack Sparrow and would pretend to make out with her pillow. Let me catch that happening and that Harry will find himself banished from my DVR forever!
