Big Brother

Van seems to be getting more and more ready to take on his new role as big brother. He told me this morning that he needed to be a big buddy to Zak just like Rainbow Fish is a big buddy for Tug. He completed his "All about Me" book at school and answered the question-do you have any brothers "yes, one". And today Nanie bought Howie (yes our beloved duck), a new outfit at Build a Bear. Where, btw, they graciously restuffed and restitched poor threadbear Howie for free! Van isn't real sure about Howie wearing new clothes yet but tonight he decided that Howie will need to wear those new clothes when he goes to China. Guess he's as ready as we are!
