Thoughts from a Toddler


In preparation for Logan becoming a big brother we bought some "Big Brother" books and began to read them to Logan. One of the books explains how babies can't walk, talk, eat apples, etc. Upon meeting Andrew for the first time in the hospital Logan starting telling others around him that Andrew could not walk. I immediately assumed he was remembering the books we had been reading and promptly agreed with him. (Remember that at this point we were at the hospital and Andrew was nicely swaddled in a blanket.) Fast forward to our homecoming the next day. I was taking Andrew out of his carseat and introducing him to his new home when Logan blurts out "Hey Andrew has feet!!" Logan thought Andrew did not have feet and that is why he concluded he could not walk.

During the pregnancy when asked where Andrew was Logan would nicely respond "In Mommy's tummy" and he quickly transitioned into the idea that Andrew was no longer in Mommy's tummy after Andrew was born. However today I discovered (thanks to Logan) that "Andrew is not in Mommy's tummy no more, just milk" ( I am nursing)


When asked if Andrew could go home with them by a visitor Logan quickly says with concern
"NO Andrew go home with Mommy, Daddy and Logan because we love him."
