We went to cousin Cameron's 4th birthday party this evening at Chuck E Cheese's. Good times! I'll blog about the party tomorrow; I have some cute pics.
Auntie Titi wasn't able to make it to the party tonight, and the boys were asking about her during the car ride home. I told them that Auntie Titi is moving to Tuppa Poppa's house in Florida for a while but that she'll come to say good-bye to us soon.
This is how the conversation went from there:
Gabe: Do you think Auntie Auntie is sad?
Me: Sad?
Gabe: Yea, she's all alone now in her house.
Me: Hmmm. She might be.
Gabe: Can we visit her at her house?
Me: Sure. Do you want to keep her company?
Gabe: Yes. Let's all sleep at her house. Let's have a sleepover. Okay, Mom?
Me: Sure, lovey.
The boys have been distressed for some time now that Auntie Titi hasn't always been living with Auntie Auntie. And I think it's completely wonderful that they are so sensitive to their Aunties. I think Gabe has a very hard time with the idea that someone can live alone and still be happy. (I was like that, too, when I was younger). Love him.
He is a love.
