The Color of Our Skin

We had our first conversation about skin color the other day. I’m actually surprised it hadn’t come up sooner with our diverse family. It’s a non-issue. Anyhow, it was an interesting conversation between Levi and I. The boys had just finshed showering and Dee was getting Carlos and Trey dressed and Levi had come back in to go to the bathroom while I hopped through the shower. For some reason he likes to come in and chat in the bathroom. He said, “You know, Mama K, Carlos and Trey match. They are both brown. I match you and Mama Dee”. I could only agree and point out his observation. I thought it was sweet, and smart. Total innocence.
Last night we had Dee’s first homemade pizza. She did the crust and all from scratch and she did a great job. She was very proud. đŸ™‚ We will all look forward to eating more of her creations.

  1. Aw, so cute! My son is 1/2 Latino and 1/2 Caucasian. I’ve noticed that he seems really aware of skin color lately. I find his questions so interesting, especially seeing how he identifies himself (he’s a pale redhead). Great to see how kids just take it all in stride!
