Under Fire

Lately the subject of babies has been sneaking its way into almost every conversation...or at least it feels that way.
I mean even more so than the normal not-so-subtle "Soooo, when are you two going to have another one."
A guy Wade works with told him that we would be doing Elle "a great disservice" if we did not have another child. Mimi is going to be begin watching a 6 month old baby in August, so she will have two babies. So she says tells me that the only "bad thing" about the new baby coming is that it means we (Wade and I) have to wait 2 years - so she would have another baby spot available. Last week there was a bug on Elle's jacket in the car which she did not like. So I handed her a tissue and told her to wipe it off her jacket. For the rest of the ride she asked me "Where'd the buggy go?" I told her he went home to his family...she said "Oh, his mommy, and daddy, and brothers?"
And to top it off, last night Wade asked her if she wants a brother or sister and she enthusiastically answers Yes! This was as we were going to bed so as she was falling asleep she is whispering (pretty much in my ear) "a brother and a sister". So I say...."You know, if you have a brother or a sister, you have to share ALL of your stuff with them!"

I think its best that she know the pros and cons to everything.
