Twins

TJ is very much wanting a brother or sister. This is not a new thing by any means, but I don't think I've actually written about it before. He asks all the time when he'll "get one" and wants to know why everyone else has a brother or sister who is a friend to live with. And each time he asks, it kind of makes me very happy and very sad at the same time. I love being his mom and his playmate, but I know I'm not a kid...a little friend...or a sib. 

Lately, TJ has been asking Tim things like:

                           "Should we pretend to be twins? Or brothers?"

                           "Will I ever catch up to your age?"

                           "Can you grow your hair longer like mine?"

                           "What clothes do you have that I also have?" 

                           "Can we match and wear the same thing?"

So the last few days, Tim and T have been wearing similar outfits. The best part is, last night TJ asked if I had any silver rings I didn't want anymore. He told Tim he wanted to wear a wedding ring so that they could REALLY be twins and REALLY match. Oh my gosh, how sweet is that!!!

Then today in church, we went to pick him up from class and his teacher said they made a giant family class tree and all the kids put stickers up representing them and their brothers or sisters. TJ only had one sticker on his part of the tree. Apparently TJ didn't like having his sticker be alone so the teacher said he could put up a sticker to represent his dog too. So TJ did. Only...we don't have a dog either. Yet! Later, they drew pictures and TJ drew an awesome pic of our family (in which he is holding a dog). So guess what! We're continuing our dog hunt with extra gusto!!!!!!

I forgot to mention in the last post that TJ wanted to know the difference between the words 'grad', 'graduate'(verb), 'graduation' and 'graduate' (noun). We talked about it for about half an hour. This kid cracks me up!
