Bye Bye, The Brother!
Jaimie on Dec 11th 2008
Because CJ is only 4 and attends a public preschool with only 24 total students, we have the luxury of the bus pulling right up to our house every day, and we can wait inside until it gets here. When CJ’s bus arrives, Alexa takes up station at the closest window to watch, and I take CJ outside to get on the bus. I come right back in after handing him off to the bus driver, and since he has to be buckled into his car seat before the bus leaves, I often get back inside in time to see Alexa waving bye bye to CJ.
Yesterday I did just that, but when I got inside I was treated to a special surprise. Instead of Alexa simply waving bye bye, or even saying bye bye, she was saying, very clearly, “Bye bye the brother!”
Not only is that a sentence, but it is the first time I have heard her refer to CJ as anything other than “you”. She doesn’t say CJ, and she hadn’t, until then, said brother. But yesterday, she did.
Bye bye the brother indeed.
