Last week...
JBB: Mommy, when I grow up, I am going to marry Pretty Girl.
Mommy: Sweetie, you can't marry her because she is your sister. You will find somebody to love when you grow up and you will get married then.
This week...
JBB: Mommy, when I grow up and get married, will Pretty Girl live with me?
Mommy: No, sweetie. She will have her own house.
JBB: But who will take care of her?
Mommy: Well, she will be grown up too.
JBB: But who will be her daddy?
I think it is so funny that JBB knows that he is getting bigger, but he thinks Pretty Girl will always be a baby.
In related news,
Pretty Girl has started walking this past week. As in really walking. JBB follows her around EVERYWHERE because he is worried that she will fall. Last night he fussed at Hubby and me for letting her within five feet of the kitchen cabinets ("she might open it and choke on something Mommy!"). Hubby has christened JBB as Helicopter Brother.
Thanks for listening, because I do love sharing.

That's so sweet...JBB sounds like a great (if not slightly overprotective) brother!
And congrats to Pretty Girl for walking!
You know what is so bittersweet about this conversation, so many of us had it with our bigger or littler siblings. Oh my gosh, reading it really had me going w-a-a-a-y back down Memory Lane for awhile! I said the same things to my brother! Thank you for such a wonderful post!
TP :-)
walking = trouble
as if you dont already, now you officially have your hands full!!
Awww, it's just too adorable! What a great big brother.
so sweet! and i love that, "helicopter bro!" he'll have such a good story to tell when he's older.
JBB sounds like the kind of big brother we could all use! And hopefully he'll always be as protective of her as he is right now. Congrats on Pretty Girl's walking!
Also, thanks for stopping by my blog - I was so excited to see that after just starting it last night, I already had a bunch of comments! I'm doin' the happy dance (well, as much as one in severe back pain can be doin!)
