Let me preface this conversation (with my son), by saying that I am not expecting at this moment. My wonderful brother and sister-in-law will be welcoming a baby girl in June. That is why there has been a lot of 'baby talk' around our house. We've been discussing a trip to PA in the summertime to see Cousin Micah and the new baby. Jesse's apparently been thinking this through and we had the following convo in Target, on Saturday.
We were in the baby section buying his nighttime Pull-Ups when out of the blue...
BooBoy: Mama, I want a baby.
Me: Well, we can't get one right now.
BB: Why not? Where can we go to get a baby?
Me: Um.... (inner debate on whether I should give him the "when two people love each other" speech or if that will lead to more questions).
BB: Mama, let's go get a baby.
Me: Well, honey, we can't get a baby right now. God will give us a baby when he wants to give us one.
BB: I want God to give us a baby right now!
Me: (trying to divert) Well, why don't you pray about that, sweetie?
BB: (lays head down on the cart rail right there in the middle of Target) God? I want a baby. Can you give us one, please? I love you. Goodbye. Amen.
Me: [sigh.....]
My precocious child is so completely sweet, funny and overwhelming.
Oh my, how sweet is that!!!! Literally brought tears! Gotta love that boy! And we sure do. P.S. Excited about the "possibly coming to PA in the summer........" YAY~ Love & Kisses, Aunt Doody
