Driving home today after dropping his babysitter off, Bear and I were discussing whether he felt well enough to hit the grocery store.

(He'd stayed home today with a mild case of sniffles).

We agreed we should stop in and get some food. Bear suggested that we should buy some gifts for the new baby - some family friends recently had a little girl and we've been gathering up little gifts and hand-me-downs to send.

I praised him for being thoughtful and we talked about what new babies need. He talked about how hard it was at first to think about sharing some of his baby things.

Then, after a few minutes, he said: Mommy? If we had a new baby, I would share all my toys. Even if it was a girl.

And I just about died.
