Just Josie #5

Josie has always been interested in figuring out all those "family" terms like "brother," "daughter," etc. Once she has it figured out she will talk about it too, such as, "Dad! I found your daughter Lauren!" Or, "Mom has 6 brothers." Just when she thought she knew how to properly use all those terms we threw a new one at her - I got married and added the "in-law(s)."

Now it's also been hard for her to figure out that I'm "home" but not living in her home/my old home. When I come over she always asks, "Are you gonna stay forever?" So this afternoon when I stopped by the house quick, I ran in to say hi and to tell her that I would be back in the evening to stay the night. She got real excited and said, "Lauren how long are you gonna stay?" I told her it was just the night. Then she goes, "Oh, and then you go back to your new parents?" That girl cracks me up! She is trying so hard to understand all this. So I told her that I don't have new parents, I just have two families. All she wants is for me to "stay forever."
