Hi Arin,

Your name is really pretty. Everyone is really nice here, and it's ok for any little to write here and say hi or whatever they want. I was kind of scared the first time I wrote here, but then I started to make friends.

Hi Arin,

It is nice to meet you. We are glad you wrote here. We have josie who is 6. And we have emily and heidi who are twins. They are 6 and a half. But sometimes emily goes to 6 and sometimes heidi goes to 7. Which has nothing to do with each other, just the one who is doing it.

Hello MD Kids,

This is Oliver. Sometimes I ask questions that other parts think are nosy, so you don't have to answer this if it's too nosy or something. Here is my question:

Why does it matter if someone is 6, or 6 and a half, or 7? I mean, those numbers are close together, and there isn't much difference if someone is one of those ages or another, so how does it change things if their ages move? None of us have very specific ages because they are just numbers and kids who are the same number can be very different--the number doesn't say much about them. It would be different if someone was sometimes 20 and sometimes 6, or other numbers that are far apart.

Is emily different when she is 6 and when she is 6 and a half? Does she do different things or look really different or feel different or something?

Ok. That's a lot of probably nosy questions.
Oliver

Hi Oliver.

Those are very good questions. Our age usually has to do with when something bad (or good) happened to us. It is not always the age when we were made. If anybody asks. But sometimes it is.

Anyway lots of us have changed the age that we think we are. Cuz we understand ourselves better. Or feel better at a different age. Also even a little older or a little younger makes a big difference, cuz it is not the first number anymore.

We do not get older when the body gets older.

Let me tell about me. Joseph is my twin brother. We are very different. I am quiet. He is not. He calls himself "a fun guy." When we first found out about inside people, our body was 34. And Joseph and me thought the two of us were 8. I didn't like being 8 and Joseph did not want to be 9. So 8 and a half sounded good to both of us. And we have been 8 and a half for a very long time.

8 and a half was how old the body was when we learned about....what married people do. And why we are twins instead of one person is probably not a good thing to talk about on the Littles thread.

Okay about emily and heidi. They are 6 and a half becuz that's when our second brother was born. He has disabilities. The outside mother gave him lots of attention cuz she felt guilty even though the disabilities weren't her fault. She didn't pay enough attention to us and our first brother because she thought we didn't need it. Which is dumb but I won't spend time being mad.

So anyway emily had the sad feelings about our second brother being born. And heidi had the mad feelings. At first we thought they were identical twins but we later saw that they weren't. When emily is feeling sad or scared she goes down to six. When heidi is feeling extra brave or extra strong she goes up to seven. But their main age is 6 and a half.

I hope I helped explain things.

Hello Christine. This is Oliver.

Thank you for answering my questions. I'm glad I wasn't being too nosy.

Your answer made us think more about ages.

Ok. Bye.

hi

its arin again

thanksyou for saying hi to me

im still scared but i dont wanna be scared

i dont wana be little no more i wanna be big

how do i be big

bye

Hi Arin. We don't want to be bigger but this is what we would do if we did.

First we think it is important to tell your bigger people and talk about it with them. And the other important thing is to talk to your T. And we know you have a new T so maybe you are not used to her yet. But she is there to help as long as she pays attention to what you and your bigger people really want. And not decide things for you.

And we think it will take a little while to talk about it. But at least you are trying to get what you need.

And good luck.

Hi arin,

There's a book, Dear Little Ones by Jade Miller, that talks about that. Maybe someone can read it to you.

I don't know how it works exactly. Some of us have gotten a little older just from being out and talking to people on here. We're still kids, but older kids.

You could try spending more time out and see what happens. Then you would probably be less scared also.

Hi Evan!!

What have you been doing? I didn't get to play with my new animals yet, or do ANYTHING really except listen to that book I like. The outside kid who uses the room where my trains are is still around, but next week I'll be able to set them up again (maybe even on Sunday!!), and then I want to make a zoo.

Today we have to go to work. It's raining a LOT here, which is very unusual.

Your friend,
Bobby
