Carson's Take on Baby # 3 and a defining moment in motherhood

Conversation while driving home from OT this past Tuesday. Carson is behind me in the car seat.

Me - Carson. Does mommy have a baby in her belly?

Carson - Yes

Me - Do you think it is a boy baby or a girl baby?

Carson - A big boy baby. (In other words he wants me to give birth to a 5 year old so that he will have some one to play with.)

Me - Carson, What should we name the baby?

Carson - Boy

Me - Carson, we can't name the baby, boy. What if it is a girl baby? What should we name her?

Carson - Big Boy!

Me - Carson, I don't think she would appreciate that.

(Just to mention - Carson's teacher at school had a baby this past December and Carson was obsessed with the whole thing. When I asked him what she named her baby, he told me "Jesus". I think he got the holiday and his teacher's baby confused.)

--------------------------------------------

Tonight while I was changing into PJ's, Carson came up and put his face on my belly. While pointing to my belly, I asked him, "what is that?". (We don't need to get into the fact that it was really my jelly roll!) He said - a baby. He then rested his face on my belly for a moment. He then started to laugh and told me - the baby kicked me!. I thought that was so precious!
-------------------------------------

While I was making dinner tonight, Carson was adamant about helping me. Usually, I let him. I enjoy having his help in the kitchen but tonight everything was already on the stove and it was hot and I did not have anything for him to do. He pulled up a chair to stand on anyway, and demanded to help. I tried explaining again, that everything was hot and it was not safe to help. He then said to me - Mommy, please be quite for a little while! I had to look away as Jay and I were dying.


Thanks for reading. Love you - E
