Boy crazy

Savanna is boy crazy.  Not about the boys in her class, for sure.  Not crazy for anyone she actually knows.  But almost every day there is some guy she talks about who she thinks is just so cute.  I remember as a pre-teen crushing on Ricky Schroeder, C. Thomas Howell,  and John Schneider.  But this girl of mine likes some older guys.  Like really old.


We watch an episode of Hogan's Heroes nearly every night, and Savanna thinks Col. Hogan is just so charming.
 Michael Buble is also on her list, both for his looks and for his voice.
 And Carlos Pena--not the baseball player--the actor/singer from Big Time Rush.  This is the guy she is craziest about.

 We also watch The Dick Van Dyke Show a lot at our house.  Savanna loves the episodes that feature little Ritchie Petrie.  I don't dare to show her pictures of what he looks like now.
 Ned's Declassified is also one of our favorite shows, and thanks to Netflix we can watch it every day.  Savanna thinks Ned is a cutie.
One of our favorite movies is Ramona and Beezus.  Savanna IS Ramona, after all.  But she likes to watch it not only for the charming, sweet story but also for Ramona's Dad and also
 The dreamy Uncle Hobart.
 And last week we got Real Steel from Redbox.  Savvy went crazy for Dakota Goyo who played Max in the  movie.  Somehow she overlooked Hugh Jackman because she just couldn't get over "how cute" Max was.  At least he is sort of close to her age.
It is funny to have an 8-year-old girl so boy crazy.  What will she be like as a teenager?
