Brock, are you excited about being a big brother?
NOT ONE DAY goes by when Brock is not confronted with the same old question regarding
his excitement level as it pertains to his baby sister. Sheepishly, I confess that even Clarke and I are guilty of asking the "same old question"of our 5-year old son.
Sometimes, Brock surprises us with his brother skills, as evidenced in the following image...
Last week he brought home from school 11 pictures he drew of himself and his baby sister, brandishing swords. Every picture features the same two characters and the same swords. Fortunately, they don't appear to be sword fighting each other! Whew!
On Monday, he wanted to color pictures for the door of the nursery and this is what he came up with:
Brock is going to rock big brotherhood!
Are you excited about becoming a big brother?
Yeah.
What do you think we should name your sister?
I'm thinking, Luna See. Luna is a nice name, mom. Or how about Twelvie? Or Ruby? 'Cause that's a great name. Daddy would like that. We could call her Rube.
What do new babies do?
Cry and use binkies and use bottles. Except, we're going to need a lot of diapers, right? Because our baby is going to poop a lot. Well, I hope she's not a poopie baby.
What are you going to teach your baby sister?
I might teach her how to feed herself, that's one thing. How about, I could also teacher her how to stand up and walk a little bit and crawl? I want to teach her how to color, except she'll do a lot of scribbling.
Who do you think the new baby will look like?
I think she would look like momma. With blond or blackish, brownish hair. 'Cause we are the blond family, right?
What's the first thing you're going to do when the baby comes home?
I'm going to cover my ears with my hands because YEOW my ears will hurt. That's what I'm going to do, bring ear plugs. Because the baby will whaa, whaa, whaa, whaa, of course.
What are you going to get your sister for Christmas?
A big brother that loves her!
