When I asked Lila what she wanted to be when she grew up, her first reponse was, "A Pumpkin." Funny how we were just looking at a pumpkin Savannah had drawn. After a couple of pensive moments, Miss Lila said, "I can't be a pumpkin, it would get in my mouth." I guess this is how a mind a four year old works?
We moved past the pumpkin and tried other options but she didn't bite. Finally, I asked her if she wanted to have a baby when she was big like me and she said, "Yes." Then she hesitated and asked, with wondering eyes, "Will the baby poop?" I told her yes and she was thrilled. Poop is in every round of the Baby/Mommy game that is played non-stop in this house. I asked Lila if she was going to snuggle her baby and she said, "NO." The baby will be stinky, YUCK."
Lila Grace ended the conversation a few seconds later with, "Actually Mommy, when I get big I just want to snuggle you. Okay?"
During this conversation, Adeline poked her head in my door and told me, "I am going to drive a BIG bus when I get big Mom."
Looks like Lila and Savannah are planning to live with me forever, while their sister cruises through life driving a big bus. Only time will tell. . .
We will be able to blog about the daily events of our cherubs well into old age. Mr. P plans to live with Mom and Dad forever, and work as a dump truck driver, while the Pita plans to raise her future baby with us. At least we know that they love us, right? :)
