Brian can often be found entertaining our kids over dinner. It usually starts with, "Can I tell you a story?" That question is always met with an extatic YES from the kids. Then he starts in about a hypothetical family with three kids, a big brother, a sister and a little brother or something like that but never mentioning names. They of course catch on every time and squeel with delight that the story must obviously be about them. Then he relays a story from our family history. They hang on his every word and Maddie's smile is ear to ear and irresistable. Tonight Maddie wanted to return the favor and shared a story with us. Here it is, transcribed as she spoke.
"Once there was a big family. And they had a daughter called Angie. One day when it was Octember they had a new baby called Brian. Then one Sunday after they went to church they came home and were surprised to find a babysitter to babysit the new baby. And that babysitter was called Ben. And then there was a new baby named Maddie. I mean Pineapple Penelope Tree. Then the grandparents called their friends who met them at church and when they got home the friends parents were already at the house. So the parents forgot to take the kids home so the grandparents and I took them home."
Erin also told me today that Maddie had relayed to her that she was getting a baby sister some day soon and that she has 100 grandmas. She also plans to pray to Heavenly Father to see if she could live with him some day, then she can see her 100 grandmas.
I watched Heather's cute girl Hazel today while she attempted to have another baby. When I explained why Hazel was here to play, she leaned down to Hazel, who is 10 days younger than Jacob, patted her stomach and told her congratulations on getting a baby sister today and that Maddie was getting her baby sister in a while and she was SO excited.
