A is still working on the concept of being an Only. She's getting to that point where she knows how to play with others so she wants other to play with, whether cousins, friends, or even a sibling. She has started talking about certain characters being her Invisible Friends, and I let it go because it means I get a few minutes to myself while she plays and uses her imagination.
But this morning was great. She had a baby doll out while we were having snack, and she decided that he needed a nap. Then she went into a lecture about how her baby doesn't have any siblings because God thinks the family is good the way it is (yeah, she totally came up with that on her own...no), but then she quickly decided that she was the baby's sister.
She then went on to tell me that when she dies, I will get another baby. It might be a boy, or it might be a girl again. I asked her why she was going to die. She said she was going to get old and die.
I then questioned about the possibility of my getting old while she got old. She dismissed this off hand, and proceeded to talk about how when she dies of old age I will 1) still be alive and 2) still young enough to have more children. I guess I'm magic.
