Just a Peachy Family

Today I took Griffin and Gray to a woman's house to be babysat. My friend, Joey, also took her girls so they would have someone to play with, and then Joey and I went to lunch. Yay for the moms. We also made sure we ate at a pretty kid-unfriendly place! Anyway Griffin loved the babysitter's house and did not want to go home. The lady, Jackie, said that Griffin and her son, Joshua, hit it off. When we were getting into the car, Griffin says, "I'm yellow, but Joshua is brown". (Background info: Josh is biracial) So I say, "well you are kind of peachy, and yes, Joshua is more brown". Then I tell him that we are different colors just like our hair and eyes are different colors from everyone elses. He was mulling that over when he decided that "Mommy, you are peachy. Daddy is peachy. Gray is peachy. We are just a peachy family". He has been saying that last part at random points during the day. He also noticed that Joshua has a certain private part that is brown since he saw Joshua trying to use the pottty. It was the first time he has mentioned anything like this before. His favorite friend at preschool is also biracial but he has never mentioned anything about his skin color. Maybe he does not see it the same way...
