Things you can buy online
My children have been lobbying for a new baby. And when I say lobbying, I mean like, telling everyone about their new baby. You know, the baby that I am NOT pregnant with. They tell people what her name is going to be, what they are going to do with her, how they will play with her. They pray every single night for a new baby sister. Gabriela Catalina has prayed for one for over two years. I'm not really sure how to tell her she's not getting one. Colton started praying for a little girl as well.. until he changed his mind and decided he needed a baby brother. It really confuses people, like their teachers, when they talk about when their new baby is coming. Because, to my knowledge, its not. But I guess with the fourteen hundred layers of clothing, you can't really tell if someone is pregnant, or just stuffed with down. At any rate, I am continuously impressed with their lobbying creativity....
Colton: Mommy? One day, can you have a baby so I can have a baby bwother?
Me: Maybe
C: Actuawawy, I want to adopt one instead.
Me: You do?
C: Yeah. I want to get one onwine.
Me: Online?
C: Yeah. I want to buy a special one that awways stays a baby and doesn't gwow (Colton speak for grow). Wike a special one. We would get a special spway that doesn't wet him gwow. We would open his mouth and spway it inside so that he stays a baby. ... We would also give him a fruit spway so he doesn't get sick.
At dinner, I tell this story to Ben and Gabriela Catalina.
She says, "Colton. Don't be silly. That spray would NEVER work. You couldn't just spray it in his MOUTH (she rolls her eyes). You would have to spray it all over his BODY." Well, duh.
