The X Factor

We have ourselves another girl! We got to see her today, pulling on her ear, doing tricks and all the other things babies do to pass the time. I guess she has had to play several rounds of solitaire thus far, as there is no one to choreograph complex dance routines with....yet. L & M seem pretty excited. Here is a little snippet of our last conversation about it:

Me: "Would you girls like to have a baby at our house?"
Maddie (very decisively): "Yes."
Me: "Where would we get a baby from?"
Both girls at the same time: "From Grandma!" (London)
"From the store!" (Madelyn)
Me: "Did you know there is a baby in mommy's tummy?"
London lifts up my shirt and says, "I don't see it."
I explained to her the doctor will take the baby out when it gets big enough, and she lifts up my shirt again and says, "Almost ready!"
The girls proceeded to spend the last week telling us that they have babies in their tummies too. Apparently Londie's is a girl and Maddie's is a boy. Ah, they grow up so fast!
