A 3 Year Old and a Baby Sister


Since Halle came into our family a month ago, Aidan has had many observations and ideas about his baby sister.

1. I (Kate) just finished painting a few sports themed murals in the boys' bedroom, and Aidan stated, "Mommy, Halle needs her room painted like a little girl's room." I then asked him what I should paint, and added a few ideas like flowers and lady bugs. Aidan added, "Ants too Mommy, so the ladybugs have someone to play with."

2. I was nursing Halle, and Aidan was watching and exploring his own chest when he discovered, "Mommy, I have those too." I then explained to him that only mommies' have milk in them for babies. He responded, "and boys' have juice in them."

3. This morning Aidan told me he didn't want a baby sister anymore, but instead wanted a boy baby. I asked him why and he said, "Baby sisters cry too much."

Life with 3 children 3 and under has been kind of crazy and interesting, but a blessing. I am sure there will be more funnies to come.
