brown

bug was (and still is) excited about being a BIG sister 
and to have TWO little sisters!
oh my!
she called them 'brown sisters' the first week we had them 
(this has since faded)

since she was proud she asked to take pictures of twins to school 
i decided this was a good time to have a talk 
about how not everyone likes people who look different from them 
we talked in very simple terms 
she was shocked 
she has many adopted friends who are from different counties and 
we are waiting for a cousin, oliver, to come home from south korea 
so diversity is apart of our life 

she took the pictures to school and came home with stories 
all were positive except one boy made fun of her 'new sisters'
and she was mad 
i am glad we chatted before this happened 
but it was a reminder of how much our life 
is and will change with the newest additions 
and how many more talks we will have like the one above
