A Baby for Aaron

Aaron loves his sister, Campbell, but only on his terms. He will very randomly want to kiss her or play with her, but will absolutely not be pushed into it. I figured he just wasn't into babies (let's face it he still thinks HE is the baby), so I don't push the issue.

Then the other day Aaron says - Mommy, when are you going to have a baby for me?

Me - You have Camby.

Aaron - No, Mom, Camby is Peter's baby.

Me - Camby is everyone's baby.

Aaron - Well I want my own baby, and we will name him TORPEDO.

Apparently he didn't get the memo that our next child's name will start with an "S" :)

Eloping

Peter is quite taken by his friend Emy. The two of them have been professing their love, calling each other Princess and Prince, and saying they were going to get married for about a year now with no signs of slowing down.

So, last Saturday (being the very corny person that I am) I help up a cantaloupe in front of Peter's face at the grocery store and said, "Hey, Peter, when you marry Emy, you can't elope!" (yes, I find myself to be extremely funny)

Without missing a beat, Peter responded, "fine then we will have watermelon at our wedding."
