I decided I need to write for a moment about Sean. Sean came into our lives a few months ago. He is Trey's imaginary friend. Everyday he'll tell me something Sean has done that is not okay. For example he'll say something like, "Mom, when Sean eats his cereal he spills it all over the table." or, "Mom, Sean just hit me. You need to talk to him." I'll then give 'Sean' a lecture on what is appropriate behavior. Anyway, for a time I wasn't sure what I thought about it, but now I think it's good. It gives me a chance to teach Trey things without Trey actually trying them. I give Sean the lecture and Trey loves being the kid who knows better. Today while walking Kory home from school Kory and Trey had a funny conversation.
Trey: "Mom you know what Sean thinks?"
Kory: "Trey, Sean isn't real!!"
Trey: "I know Sean doesn't exist!! It's just...urr. Mom, Sean thinks there is a blue spider- man."
I guess it doesn't sound that funny written, but it made me laugh when I heard it.

Funny boy:)
Weston has an imaginary Trey and Trevin. Those are his two cousins he loves to play with...they are real people....but Weston just created an imaginary duplicate so they could be with him whenever he wants them to! It's kind of nice! I get to tell him "yes" often! Like if he asks me if his imaginary Trey and Trevin can eat lunch with him "Of course they can!" or "can my imaginary Trey and Trevin spend the night?"....
I think its cute. Its his way of making sure that he is doing the right things. Because if Sean does it first and gets in trouble or you talk to Sean about it then Trey knows its bad and hopefully he wont do it :)
Ha ha! That's funny. I like how he slipped up and admitted that he knows Sean isn't real, but then quickly changed the subject! I wish I had an imaginary friend I could blame all my troubles on. Can Sean come visit me?
Cool use of the imaginary friend, Kristin. You are a smart mom.
I didn't know you moved to Colorado! I love reading about your family. You are all so wonderful.
