A few weeks ago, there was a new addition to our family: Molly announced the arrival of her brother Michael. We've officially entered the world of imaginary friends. When asked, she will consistently answer as follows:
What's your brother's name?
Michael Sullivan
How old is he?
He's 3 years old
What does he look like?
He has black hair like Mommy, and blue eyes
like daddy.
Is he bigger or smaller than you?
He's my biggest brother!
Michael and Molly play very well together. They never hit, throw toys, or yell at each other, and are constantly saving each other from dragons, having tea parties, and making mischief. Molly draws pictures of him, shares her food with him, and craftily blames him for messes and accidents.
I'm looking forward to learning more about Michael, and will keep you posted on Molly and his many adventures.
If only real siblings interacted as well as Molly and Michael.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I envy you a "child" with black hair and blue eyes. I had really hoped for that combo with one of my kids (genetically, there was a very slim possibility), but alas, it did not happen.
