This morning (way, way, way too early) Lucas woke up and hopped in to bed with me for a while. After a bit of trying to fall back asleep, I knew we were up for the day, so I started to talk to Lucas. He came and snuggled on my chest. "Lucas," I said. "I miss Papa." "I miss Papa, too," he said. "You know what else?" I asked. "I miss the baby. I want our baby to come home to us." "Me, too, Mama. I want our baby to come home," he said. (Can I just say that I love that he has enough verbal skills to have these conversations with me? I guess that's a bonus of him being an only child for as long as he has; we've had many "grown up" conversations...for a long time.)
Enjoying the moment with him I asked, "Do you think you'd like a baby brother or a baby sister? Would you like a baby boy or a baby girl?"
"Um...how about we get both? I think we should have a baby boy AND a baby girl," he decided.
I'm in. I'd make it happen if I could. *

Aww. I hope Lucas gets his wish soon!
ReplyDeleteAlso I have to say I've long been impressed with his verbal skills. He can carry on a conversation so well for as young as he is!
Aww, how sweet is that!! Always praying for your family and that baby to come home to you!
