Last night, on the way home from Dr. Mac’s office, Quincy saw a cat walking through a yard we were driving past. We have talked to him before about how we can’t get a cat, because I have allergies and he seems to take it pretty well. But last night, after seeing that cat, he started talking about getting a cat. And his solution to my allergy problem was to get rid of Daddy and get a new guy. Then when we asked him what we’d do with Daddy he said that we’d give him to the other girl. After some questioning, we found out that what he was thinking was that we could trade me for another Daddy that was not allergic to cats and I’d go to another family. This was, of course, very funny and we continued talked and laughed about it for a long time.

Later in the evening Quincy said he was just joking and would not want to get rid of Daddy. If fact, when Mahra brought it up again during bedtime, he said that he wanted to keep Daddy because he loves him very very much.

Quincy is now able to have some really great conversations. It is a lot of fun to talk with him when he’s in the mood to talk. I love that kid so much.
