Is it normal for a 5 year old boy to have a crush on a girl his own age?

She apparently crushed on my aunt's 5 year old son first, now my aunt's son seems to like it and has a crush on her back. lol

Very normal? Kids have crushes.

@Longpatrol I thought it was mostly the girls who crushed early, because of maturing faster.

1) We're talking about very prepubescent kids. In what way are very little girls "more mature" than very little boys?

2) A lot of teen girls say this, but seem to confuse sexual maturity (ability to make a baby) with actual maturity.

3) Puberty has been turning on earlier in girls because of artificial chemicals which mimic estrogen...so girls get exposed to chemicals which start their sexual maturation earlier. I suspect that this same external influence might delay the onset of male sexual maturity by a small-yet-measurable amount.
