While cleaning the toy room, A and E were actually in a good mood about organizing and getting rid of some things. But when they pulled out a soft cuddly Eeyore doll to get rid of, Chris and I looked at each other, and Chris said, "Let's put that in the nook, just in case a baby plays at our house and wants to snuggle it."
7-year-old A: Or if we have our own baby. I want us to have a baby.
Chris: Are you gonna have a baby?
A: No! You and Mom!
Me: But if I had a baby in my belly, I'd probably feel sick and tired all the time.
A: But you'd have a baby in the end.
Me: You're right. And it was all worth it when I got to have you guys.
5-year-old E, while cleaning: It's okay, Mom, we'd bring you food!
A: Yea, we'd make you food and help you feel better, Mom!
Chris: You'd cook for Mom?
A: Well, we'd help Dad make you food, Mom, and we'd bring it to you.
I was so touched. Such sweet boys.
Made me smile--I agree, such sweet boys.
