Brianna has been becoming more aware of the differences in people, for example, if someone is a boy or a girl. Well, recently she brought up a whole new subject...
The other day we were over at my friend Shannon's house. Bree loves to play with Nayan, Shannon's son who is about her age. Things were going well, the kids played nice together, Bree got to pet their new puppy, and we all had lunch together. Then Aamani, Shannon's daughter who's almost 1 now, woke up from her nap. Bree went into Aamani's room with Shannon and suddenly for some unknown reason she turned to Shannon and asked her "Is she brown or white?" (While Shannon grew up around here, her husband is from India.) Luckily, Shannon wasn't offended and told Bree "She's both. She's a mix."
Great! Now I have to worry about Bree talking loudly about people's skin color. I guess it's only natural for kids at this age to start asking a few questions...hope I'm ready for it though.
