Completely Unfazed

I was so excited when the Amazon package arrived the other day with Uncle Bobby’s Wedding. 

Uncle Bobby’s Wedding by Sarah S. Brannen, illustrated by Lucia Soto. This book is about a little girl named Chloe, who adores her Uncle Bobby. She learns that he is going to marry his partner, Jamie, and begins to worry that they won’t continue to have fun together as they always have. Uncle Bobby starts bringing Jamie on all of their adventures...the ballet, the ice cream shop, sailing … and Chloe begins to love her future Uncle Jamie, too. Chloe learns that there is an abundance of love, not a scarcity. Their marriage becomes a huge celebration to this little girl that loves her uncles. 

Beckett loved this book so much that he asked me to read it to him twice. Then, a few hours later, he curled up in Nathan’s lap and asked him to read it to him, too. I eavesdropped on Nathan asking him some questions, afterwards… Turns out, Beckett was completely unfazed by Uncle Bobby marrying Jamie. He was only concerned about why Chloe felt worried and how Uncle Bobby loved her so much.

It was a nice reminder that if you show kids that love is the priority, then love will be the priority.
