He brought this up again recently, "Kayla remember a long time ago I said when we grow up we're going to live next door to each other? Or we can live in the same house."
Me, "Ahh Lucas that is so sweet."
Lucas, "I said that a long time ago. But it's Kayla choice, whichever one she wants to do. So Kayla, which one do you want? To be neighbors or live in the same house?"
Kayla, "Live in same house."
We were talking about this again when I asked Lucas why he said it was Kayla's choice. He said just because she could chose and he would do whichever one she wanted to do.
We've never talked about Kayla's future living arrangements with, or in front of, Lucas. I don't think it has anything to do with knowing his sister has Down syndrome, I think he just thinks that they are always going to live together, or near each other.
But then this sweet conversation took another turn on the humorous side when Joe and I tried not to laugh (too!) much at Lucas' logic!
Lucas, "Ok so we're going to live together that means we're going to get married."
Kayla, "I don't want to be married!"
Me, "Kayla are you saying you don't want to get married because you want to live with Lucas?"
K, "Yeah. I don't want to be married."
L, "But don't you have to be married to live together?"
M, "Oh, that. Well yes, yes you do. But just not to your sister."
L, "So when we're adults we'll still be brother and sister?"
I have no idea why he thought they weren't going to be brother and sister when they were adults!
The things kids come up with!

That is one of the sweetest conversations I've ever heard. Kids' minds are interesting, aren't they! :)
Wouldn't you love a peek into that mind to figure out where he comes up with this stuff? too precious
That kid is too adorable!
oh my, thank you for sharing!! love the conversations and this one is just the most sweetest, kindness, and loving and heart felt one that Lucas has had with Kayla!! It is her choice. and no she does not want to be married, but live in the same house.. :} love mom
LOL! Confusing! But that is so sweet that they envision each other being so close and living with or near each other when they grow up. It is great that they have each other.
