The new baby.
In the car today Brinley asked me, “Mom, when Nora is grown up what will we name the new baby?”
At first I was very confused and I said, “Huh?” She said, “You know, when Nora grows up and we get a new baby, what will we name it? Will it be a boy or a girl? I want a boy this time.”
Then I got it. And I started laughing. And then she was confused. “What’s so funny, mom?”, she asked me.
Apparently she thinks that when a child grows up (or becomes roughly two and a half) then it’s time to bring another baby into the family. So naturally when Nora grows up (turns 2.5) we’ll “get” a new baby. Right? Wrong!
I was at a complete loss as to how to explain any of this to Brinley so I simply said, “Well we’ll see what happens when Nora grows up. Maybe we’ll get a new baby but maybe we won’t.” That seemed to satisfy her for the time being. Hopefully I won’t have to get into the birds and the bees talk any time soon! Yikes.

Thats funny. Liam has been obsessed with having anothr baby as well. Like two aren’t enough. His teacher just had a baby. So he came home from school one day and asked me, ” momma can you eats lots of food so your belly will get really big and you can have another baby? We need another girl so we have two boys and two girls.” It was very cute.
