so earlier THIS week i went to my brother's house, and saw my two nephews: jake, 2 1/2; and caleb, 1 1/2. (pictured with their mom, carrie)
i had brought with me a copy of my wedding dvd for matt. he showed it to jacob, who stared at the front. it has on it a lovely picture of jonathan and me from our wedding day.
"who is in the picture, jake?" i ask.
"dat uncle jon." he says clearly, pointing at jon.
"and... who is the other person?" it was like he was searching the entire photograph for another face he recognized.
"dat uncle jon." he points at jon once more.
"who is the GIRL in the picture, jake?"
jake blankly stares at the photo.
"jacob, come on, who is the GIRL?"
"aunt sara." he says sweetly and quietly.
good. it may take some prompting, but at least somewhere, in the back of their minds, they know who i am. sheesh!
