One for the books

Tonight over dinner:

Me: Katy, would you like to hear some exciting news?

Katy: Yes!! What?

M: Guess what Mommy has in her belly?

K: A baby?

M: Yes!

K: (in happy tone) Why did you get a baby in your belly?

M: Ummm...because I thought maybe you'd like to have a baby brother or a sister.

K: (pointing at David) But I already have a baby brother!

M: But wouldn't you like another one?

K: SURE!!

(long silent pause...Brian makes a comment about that being anti-climatic)

K: What time will the baby be born?

M: A long time from now...after your birthday.

K: What time did you get the baby in your belly?

M: (Brian and I exchange glances and smirks) Ummm...it was awhile ago, before Christmas.

(another long pause. Brian asks if she'd like a brother or a sister. First she says brother, and then gets wide eyed)

K: MOMMY!! Can you get a baby SISTER?

M: Well, maybe. Mommy and Daddy don't get to decide whether it's a brother or a sister. God decides and we are happy either way. We're going to find out which one in a couple weeks. (January 28th, if you'd like to count down with me)

K: Mommy, do you want to hear some great news?

M: Sure, what's that?

K: Diet Coke makes me sick.

M: Huh?

K: (giggles and goes about her business)

Do you get the impression this wasn't a surprise? Katy doesn't miss much . . . . :-)

Hilarious! Sounds just like something Kaden would say...he's all into making up things he thinks are funny these days. Can't wait to hear the news!
