Another Baby?

No, don't worry, not another baby. Just read this funny story.

I am amazed at what things stick in my son's head. He's three, at what age did he start having such a long term memory?
The other day, we were driving past a store that is very near our house. We drive by it all the time. It's a Farm and Fleet that sells all kinds of odds and ends things. Last year, around the time that we had Alissa and my mom was here with us, she bought a wagon for the kids. The Farm and Fleet was one place that she looked for the wagon (to no avail). At that time, rather than getting Andrew and Anna and a very pregnant me out of the car to go into the store, we let grandma go in and look quickly by herself. This must have been significant to Andrew cause as we drove by the Farm and Fleet on this particular day only a couple days ago, Andrew said "Mommy, is Grandma going to get us a wagon?" Quickly making the connection I said, "Well, no, but Grandma did buy us a wagon didn't she?" "Yeah" Andrew said, "But she went in by herself. I didn't go with her." Wow, I thought, that's some memory.

The very next day, we had to run an errand at the hospital where I work. Having been there with me before, Andrew said, "Are we going to mommy's work?" I told him we were. Then, his memory not only amazed me again, but this time really made me laugh. He said, "Are we going to go have another baby?" Oh, man! The connection he made was not to my work this time, but to having babies at the same hosptial. I guess when you have two sisters in two years, both delivered at the same hospital, one might start to think that 's just what we do. Of course, I told him no, no more babies. He then asked, "Are we going to check your heart?" The reference this time I am guessing, was to the number of prenatal appointments he had been with me for where we would hear the babies heart beat.

So funny and sooooo cute! It's moments like these I hope I never forget!
