Toddler Conversation

[Scene:  Liam and I are sitting on the couch and he’s “reading” books to me.  He turns and rubs his hand across my belly.]

Liam:  Mama?

Shannon:  Yes, Liam?

Liam:  Baby Sister’s growing in dere?

Shannon:  Yep.

Liam:  Baby Sister’s gonna come out soon so I can meet her and I’m gonna read her “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom” and we’re gonna play trains and I’m gonna be her big brother.  When’s she coming out?  She’s coming soon to meet me?

Shannon:  Soon enough, buddy.

Liam:  I’m gonna be a GREAT big brother!  [pauses to contemplate] Right Mama?  Am I gonna be a great big brother?

Shannon:  You sure will, buddy.

Maybe he’s processing more than he’s letting on about the whole baby situation.  September’s gonna be interesting either way.
