This morning I took little man on a post-workout date to Panera to have 'the talk.'
It went something like this:
Jenny: "Joey, how do you feel about the new baby coming soon?"
Joey: "NO."
Jenny: "What are you most looking forward to about having a sibling? Having a playmate? Having a roommate?"
Joey: "baba!"
Jenny: "When mommy and daddy decide it's time to have the baby (ha) we are going to the hospital and you are going to stay with Grandma for a while...are you excited?"
Joey: "YAAAAAH .... ALLAH!"(my child has Islamic fundamentalist tendencies...what can I say?)
(uncomfortable glances from other restaurant patrons)
Jenny (shifting tactics): "So are you nervous at all?"
Joey: ...
(crickets chirping...stuffs more bagel in mouth)
--End scene--
Jenny... this is great! I love Joey!
ReplyDeletelove,

ha!
ReplyDeleteJulia held the same cup tonight at Panera with water -- and eventually spilled it --- Joey is already ahead of the big sibling game.
