Today while Jack was at pre-school I heard Theo role-playing with his toys. I stopped dusting and listened from the other room (yes, I was really dusting! It is a rare occurrence - we have friends coming to spend the night - I was tempted to stick that fact in and not make mention that it was a rare occurrence but I know my readers know me better than that!). Anyway, back to the role-playing. I heard the following:
Theo: Hello Apple (he was holding a real half-eaten apple).
Apple: Hello Apple.
Theo: I'm not an apple. I am Jack's little brother.'
Apple: I really am an apple.
I love it. I love listening to little people.

I can certainly understand Theo's perspective. I was known as "Charles' little sister" through-out junior high and high school. Hopefully, Theo continues to enjoy being known as "Jack's little brother".
That's a very creative conversation for a two-year-old to have. He needs to remind himself that he is not only a little brother, he is also a BIG brother. It's all in how you look at it.
