More from Ethan's mind
background: for a couple of years now, ethan has had a pretend family. mainly, a mom, grandpa and a brother. boro, his brother, gets blamed for making ethan do things, his pretend mom lets him do whatever he wants, his grandpa (by the way, he does not call my dad the word grandpa) and his friend miguel who lives in the kitchen cabinets. a couple of months ago ethan told me his pretend mom died so this conversation took us offguard.
ethan to me and dan: my pretend mom is going to die in december. she's going to have a stroke.
dan and i look at each other: really? i thought your pretend mom died a little bit ago.
ethan: she did. but i have 'mommy seeds' in the attic i water. i got her from up in the attic.
us: really. that's interesting.
ethan: yeah, when i get tired of my old pretend mom, i just go upstairs and get another one.
us: okay, ethan.
then he talked at length about his pretend family.
where do i begin? now, how do these pretend moms lose favor with him?? should i be worried?!?!

one thing i have learned. never try to understand a four year old boy's thought process.
he is a hoot.
I wouldn't worry as long as he has unlimited pretend mom's I think you are safe, it's when he runs out that things get harder!
that is very interesting! i wouldn't be worried - i'm sure he is satisfied with his real mommy :)
