37 Weeks

Liam: "Mommy, why isn't my baby brother born quite yet?"

Me: "Well, he's just now big enough to be born, but he probably won't be for a couple of weeks yet."

Liam: "Well , when the midwives come to help him be born, will you make sure they know my real name?"

Me: "Well, sure, kiddo...."

Liam: "NO!!! I'm not kiddo!"

Me: "Um...Liam?"

Liam: "No!!!! I'm not really Liam anymore!"

Me: "Um...Donald the Tickling Shark?? No?? Who are you?"

Liam: "I'm Leonard the Great Big Doggie Who Goes 'WOOF'!!!"

Me: "Ah..I see. So that's why you're wearing Casey's collar?"

Liam: "Yes, you see, I said WOOF and he gave me the collar. Because he knew I'm a doggie now. I change like that."

Me: "Yes, you do. It's fun, but very confusing, son."

Liam: "NOOOO!! I'm not Son!"

Me: "Sorry, Leonard!"


Liam: "Mommy?? Please tell my baby brother to be born soon. I'm tired of waiting. Also, I know he'd like to see my "doghouse" and play with my kitty and tiger. "

Sounds good to me, kiddo Leonard. I'll see what I can do to pass on the message...
