Wish Update

The same evening as the "wishing star" question was asked, we went outside to see if in fact there was one. According to Brayden there was. There were millions of stars, but he set his eyes on one and claimed it to be the famous star. He whispered his wish and then we went back inside. He did later tell me that he wished for a "tiny baby dog that wouldn't scratch him when he jumps and a teddy bear". (he has a dozen already). The funny part is that he got up the next morning and started looking around the living room like he had lost something. I asked him what he was looking for and he said "where is my wish from the wishing star"? He thought that he would wake up and find what he had wished for. I explained that the wishing star doesn't actually bring you your wish. It tells your parents what your wish is and then they decide whether or not you can have what you wished for. He said "oh" and went along his merry way.

Yesterday he was watching some shows that we had DVR'd a few weeks ago and a Berenstein Bears episode came on and it was titled "The Wishing Star". Ah-ha, that's where he came up with the idea. Sister Bear wishes for a teddy bear that she sees in a store window. She got her wish. Maybe Brayden will get a bear this week from the wishing star! (He won't be getting a tiny baby dog though)

By the way, I'm leaving for San Francisco today for a business trip, so I won't be posting until next Thursday.
