My brother

Early this morning while Daddy & I were getting ready for work, John was snuggling Duncan in our bed. "I'm snuggling my brother!" John told us. Daddy asked him of he knew the names of Daddy's brothers. John said "Uncle T" and then he paused. He has only heard us talk about Uncle Bryan and Uncle Christopher and John was very little the last time he saw his two Uncles. We explained that all of Daddy's brothers are his little brothers. I asked John if he knew the names of my brothers. John hesitated. He said "Uncle Bob!" I told him Uncle Bob is Mommy's little brother. That made him giggle. I said who is Mommy's big brother? We gave him a hint and said he flies helicopters. John said "Uncle Joe!" And then he paused. "But who's my brother?" Daddy and I told him that Duncan is his brother. John liked that answered and he snuggled a little while with Duncan. He then said "Will Duncan be there when I get bigger? Because I will miss him if he is not with me!" I love my smart little man, but I'm not ready to have these serious talks with him yet. I can't remember exactly what Daddy's response was, but he basically told him to enjoy his time with his dog.
