The meaning of "brother"
Yesterday, I overheard Jonathan talking about wanting a brother. Thinking this was yet another chapter of him saying that we should have another baby, I asked him about it. His response came back–"Mommy, are brothers dogs?"
What? Where did that come from? "No, Jonathan, brothers are people, just like you–not dogs." I was mystified. Until I told Bryan the story that evening.
Bryan quickly made the connection to Mulan, a movie Jonathan has been asking for recently. Mulan’s small and cute dog is named "Little Brother."
So maybe Jonathan just wants a dog, not a new baby. :)
Don’t you love the connections that kids make? My neice used to talk about the Ear Wacks that lived in her ears. “Mom I have an ear wack!” Stuff like that.
AWWWW! he wants a puppy! How sweet! Cassia, Jonathans imagination is so…… wow!
