This was the conversation in the car this morning as we were driving to church:
**Backstory: Jake has a "girlfriend" from school named Kayla. He talks about how awesome she is and even said her name while he was dreaming. :) Our good friends, The Fedlers, have a daughter, Kate, who is slightly older than Jake. They're friends and we continuously tease about arranging a marriage between Jake and Kate.
Darrin: Jake, so you get to see Kate today at church. Are you excited you get to see your GIRLFRIEND at church today?
Jake: NO, Kayla's my girlfriend! Not Kaaattee!
Rylee: Why not Kate, Jake? Kate's nice!
Jake: Nooooo Kayla's my girlfriend.
Rylee: I don't like Kayla. She shouldn't be your girlfriend. Kate should be your girlfriend. She's nice.
Jenn: Rylee, why don't you lke Kayla?
Rylee: Because Kayla's mean to me. She gets angry. I don't like her. She shouldn't be your girlfriend, Jake!
Jake: YES! Kayla's my girlfriend. I like Kayla!
lol wow -- the sibling protection starts early, huh? It was a fun (and kind of sweet) conversation between the kids. :)
What a beautiful conversation!
ReplyDeleteI'm anxious for my boys to start talking this way. Deacon is already so protective of Rory... I can't imagine it will get bigger!
