A big brother who talks
April 25, 2008Last night, as A was putting Gatito to bed, I overheard this:
A: Would you like a baby brother?
(All boys in this generation of our extended family so we can’t even imagine having a girl!)
Gatito: Will he talk?
A: Eventually, but not at first.
Gatito: I want a big brother who talks!
A: That’s going to be… unlikely.

(We’re so confused as to whether we want to try another child that we’re trying to make Gatito decide. Now there’s some good parenting and decision-making.)
Been there. Chicken wants a baby sister. I wonder if my uterus will take orders?
Better than flipping a coin?
That conversation was really cute.
