Monkey's and Fire.

So today, Big A was looking over my shoulder while I was "Facebooking" and was on a friend's site, Nikki. Well, Nikki has her ultrasound picture of the baby (go wish her luck, and send prayers her way, she seems to be experiencing a little HG! :( ) as her profile picture. Big A pointed to the pic, and said "Hey, is that Mrs. Nikki's baby?" and I said "Yup! sure is!"
And relieved, he exclaimed "well, it's good I found it!"

And as if that wasn't funny enough, he then announced that "it looks like a monkey in there!"

I was nearly in tears! My kids are so funny.

The kids are also very excited about the possibility of a baby in the family. They have been talking a lot about it, and so have we, to start preparing them early, since this baby won't be one that grows in my belly and is easily "seen."

So we were talking today about how exciting it would be (we are still using "possible" terms) if a baby were to come join our family. How great the kids would be as big sisters and big brothers -again-. So I brought up the subject to talk about attention. That the attention is going to be divided a little differently for a while, because little bity babies take a lot of attention to grow up to know that they are loved, so we would all have to give the baby lots of attention, especially mom. They are going to have to learn to be a little more independent (shouldn't be a problem, my kids can do ANYTHING if you ask them!). But then I mentioned that they are all old enough to help mommy out with a baby! That they could go help grab a blanket, or diapers, or pacifiers if the baby needed it..

And Little A got really concerned, and said "mommy, I don't want to go get the fire, mommy, I want you to keep me safe!"
I then had to clarify that I said PACIFIER, not FIRE. I then had to go get a pacifier to show her what they were, because she didn't know what they were!

So cute.

My kids are amazing.
