Hello John!


Yesterday, the girls and I are upstairs in my room hanging out when the doorbell rings. As always, Riley says, "Who is it, mommy?" "I don't know, let's go see!" I say. So, here we go down the stairs and see that Emily (sister-in-law) is on her way to the door. She says hey to a man and in he comes. Steve, who had just came over to also see who it was begins to introduce us. This is how the convo went.

Steve: "Jo, this is John Carse, Jared's dad."
Jo: "Hi, it is nice to meet you!" (Smile and shake hands!)
John: "Nice to meet you too!" (Looks over at Steve) "Are these your grandkids?"
Steve: "Yes!"
John: "Are they twins?" (I know, kind of weird, but mind you, I was holding Aydia so I am sure it was hard to see how much shorter she is that Riley!)
Me: "No..." (interupted)
John: "How old are they?"
Riley: "I'm 5!"
Steve: "Riley, you're 5?"
Riley: "Oh, no, I'm 4!"
Jo: "She's 2 and 3 months and she is 1 and 3 months."
John: "Oh, wow, I bet you are busy!"
Jo: "YES!"
Riley: "John, this is my sister Aydia. She's my sister!"
Steve: "Oh, this is your sister Aydia! Oh, ok!" (looks over at John and gestures to come on in some more and do whatever they needed to do...A/C stuff)
Riley: looks at me and says, "I am going to go with John!"

I thought this was quite an amusing conversation! I love how Riley kept using his name like they were best friends! It was cracking me up! The whole time he was there, Riley kept saying, "Mom, what is John doing?" She is a social butterfly!

That's cute! My older brothers are 13 months apart and my mom says that they were always confused as twins. Of course, she was always dressing them the same.

hey, i was just asking out of curiosity. i like seeing what i have to look forward to, and it's also fun to see how different yet similar two babies can be when their only a couple months apart!

the convo is so cute! i can't wait for scarlett to have conversations. :)

Oh, and the rug is from Lowes. It was super cheap too. Like $100 for an 8x10 I think?

That little one sounds like my youngest...never meets a stranger and always has a way of interesting conversation. As for being twins, you should ask my lil sis, Tracy, about that one. She and our brother are almost 15 mo apart and looked very much alike as kids...so everyone thought they were fraternal twins! Just thought I'm leave a comment 'cause you asked :) Come over and check out my blog sometime...I'm just trying to keep up with my sis!
