Hey kidz. I made a pledge to write every day. But I’m kind of tired. You can see how I am conflicted.

So I thought of the most brilliant solution ever. I am going to highlight my very first crushes from the early years of my life. Just pictures and a sentence or two. As my 18-month-old niece Charlotte would say, oh wow!

Here we go!

Bo Brady

Year of Crush: 1983-1984

Look at that chest hair.

Bo Brady has the designation of being my first ever crush. And he’s not even a real person! He’s a character on Days of Our Lives, which has the distinction of being the only soap opera I have ever watched in my entire life. And yes, I watched it as a four-year-old alongside my mom when my brother Andrew was first born. That Bo, what a hunk.

Ricky Schroder

Year of Crush: 1986-1987

There is no Rick Schroder in my life. He’ll always be Ricky to me

We tend to remember Ricky as cherubic and blonde, but by the time Silver Spoons ended its run in 1987, he was devilishly handsome and blonde.

Kirk Cameron

Year of Crush: 1987-88

These were the pre-wacko Christian days. 

Many of us had growing pains in the land down under when it came to Mikey Seaver.

So who were your big crushes back in the day?
