Everett is thrilled to be a big brother


We told Everett (our four year old) Saturday night that he was going to be a big brother. He grinned and sucked his fingers but didn't have much to say. At bedtime he wanted to know if his little sister could sleep with him.

The next morning he came down the stairs and said: I thought of something else we can do with the baby. We can take her swimming. I'll share my life jacket. She can wear my blue swimsuit. I think it will fit. Or my yellow one. Maybe I can bring my wallet and get her a snack.

He asked a million questions and in an hour had everything planned out for his little sister's arrival:

Will she grow in your tummy? When are we going to get her? She will really like the house. Should we get her a scooter when she's older? Mommy, where should we get diapers? We don't have diapers. Can we take her camping? Why can't we get a boy? (me: Why do you want a boy?) Let's get two babies. Can we feed her chocolate milk? Eggnog? (he's going through an eggnog kick). We won't give her Dr. Pepper. We want her to grow big. We should get her a wallet like mine.

What a cutie!
