An interesting result of our family weekend

Apparently, G was paying attention last weekend.


His cousins have a dad.


My sister & I have a dad.


This led to some interesting conversations this week for Mr. Jim, including:

"You my daddy?"

and

"You my daddy."

Mr. Jim has felt a bit uncomfortable.


I like the conversations.  Love seeing how G's mind works - observing what's around him and trying to apply it to himself.  And - our family is unusual.  When G brings it up, we have good conversations about what our family does look like.

"Our family does not have a daddy.
Our family has a mama and a brother and a brother."

Good opportunities to talk about God as our Father too.

This ties in with how G has been trying to figure out who loves him. 

Enter: The Project.

We cut up a bunch of photos of our family & friends... talked about how they're related... what the families look like... how they're all different... who we love...etc.

G liked The Project.  We went back to it a few times this weekend.

Whether or not he now accepts that Mr. Jim is not his daddy - well, that remains to be seen.
