Boo's teacher is now out on bed rest in anticipation of her baby being born. I know that this means they've been talking about it in school. I'm not nearly as neurotic as I used to be about it. He has a long term sub and we've talked a little about Mrs. J having her baby.
So all this talk of the baby at school led to this conversation last Saturday.
I wasn't feeling well as I'm getting a cold. We went to Micky D's after dropping my car off to get detailed. I was rubbing my forehead because of my sinus infection.
As we are eating, Boo looks at me and says
Mom, I know what you need!
Really, what's that?
You need a BABY! No, you need two babies, a boy baby AND a girl baby!
Then he says...
Mom, you need a baby to hold and cuddle, that would make you feel better. I could help you take care of them. Then I'd be a BIG brother! I'd be a good big brother, wouldn't I?
Ahh...to be that innocent. He's also said this past week After Christmas, babies come Mom! That will be so nice to have a baby.
Boo is so innocent and loving. He WOULD make an amazing big brother! He cares about others, he gives love unconditionally. He is genuinely interersted in other people and wants them to know him. He has no idea and I love him for that. I admire his faith and outlook. I need to adopt a little of it myself it seems.

Oh out of the mouth of babes. Sigh.
I am here from ICLW. Having dealt with secondary infertilty, pregnancy loss and neonatal death over the past 4 1/2 years, I get how difficult these conversations are with our children. (((HUGS)))
My 5 year old son would love for us to have another living child and we know what an awesome big brother he would be. It breaks my heart when I think about how much he wants a sibiling and how long we have tried to give him one.
Hang in there.
