Lucy Elizabeth
" Mama" says Connor" We haven't had a baby in your belly in a long time. Can we have Lucy now??"WHAT?!?!! Is it like dog years for kids or something ?!?! Noah is not 4 months old yet , and here we go again !! I looked at him very calmly and said " It might be another boy you know. It's up to God what kind of baby we have not Mommy". Surely he will accept this and move on because he has already made it clear he doesn't want another brother . He " has too many of those " already. Nope, instead he says " Um God told me that we would have Lucy this time. So could you just go get her and put her in your belly please?". Me- " Connor , where do you think babies come from ? I can't just go get one!". Connor- " Whats the matter ? Are they too expensive? I think you can get them at Wal-mart for less money". Me- " Yes they are too expensive and no you cannot get them at Wal-mart. Mommy doesn't want to get another baby in her belly right now." Connor - " Grandmommy says we don't always get what we want." Ok , so here comes the question, When do you draw the line and punish them for having something to say to EVERYTHING or laugh because of how smart they are and they are just thinking like a child. I don't know the answer to that either. All I do know is NO MORE BABIES! Not right now anyway.

He is too much! What if you told him that God told you it wasn't time to have Lucy in your belly yet, how could he argue with that?
I promise you he can argue with ANYTHING!!
What do you mean babies don't come from Wal-Mart?? Mom told us for years that I was found under a rock and Rachel was a blue-light special from K-Mart.
Mel, that kid of yours tires me out just reading his arguments. I think I would spend most of the time laughing instead of parenting.
Oh my word! He would make a very good lawyer! :] Kids these days can come up with an excuse for everything! ;]
Oh, Bekah, I just knew we were twins separated at birth- I too was found under a rock... then later on it was a cabbage leaf (that was after we visited the cabbage patch hospital in GA)...
Mel, at least you didn't have to delve into the "where babies really do come from" conversation... I could only imagine what he would tell some random person after that conversation... I mean, certainly you remember what the doctor incident??? What body parts of yours belong to his daddy????
