Josh had asked if Graham could watch a video with him on Friday during rest time. I explained that Graham is too little to watch a video, but that he could sit and look at Josh while he watched a video. So we propped Graham up in the Boppy next to Josh. Josh just rubbed and patted Graham's head and was talking to him. It was very sweet. Then I heard Josh say, "Graham, when you get bigger you'll have to go away, but we will come and visit you every day." What?!?! I said, "Josh, why do you think Graham will have to go away?" He said, "When he goes to live with a different family." I said, "No sweetie. Graham is my son just like you are my son. He will always be in our family forever." Josh said, "Oh, okay." So then that afternoon we were at the post office and a friendly elderly woman was oohing and aahhing over Graham. I like to try and bring some attention back to Josh and Lillie sometimes when that happens, so I told her that Graham has two doting big siblings. She looked at Josh and Lillie and asked if she could take him home. My very literal, black and white thinking son said, "No. He belongs to us because we adopted him. But maybe you can come and visit."
Well, from the post office we went to Braum's for milk and ice cream. When I opened the door to unbuckle kids I was met with an unpleasant smell. I asked if someone had been tooting. Lillie quickly called out, "Not me!" So Josh said, "Maybe it was Graham." I laughed out loud. I can't believe that poor little Graham is only 2 weeks old and already getting blamed for stuff. Later I told Jason in front of Josh what Josh said. Then I told Josh, "Now Josh, be honest. Were you the one who tooted?" And he smiled very sheepishly and said, "Okay...."
Good times.
