He would share

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.

2 I believe that would last for as long as he got to decide exactly what he was sharing and new baby was not mobile to decide for him/herself. Still, Bear's heart is in the right place and that's just wonderful.

4 Lately, my son has been saying, "I need a baby sister." But guess what? He's not gettin' one! My uterus has taken early retirement.
