Mom Is Sugar And Spice And All Things Nice

(I am several months pregnant with my second child. My husband and I have decided to let the gender be a surprise when the baby’s born.)

Four-Year-Old Son: *feeling the baby kick in my belly* “Again! Again!”

Me: “I think your brother or sister is going to be very good at soccer when they grow up.”

Four-Year-Old Son: “I want a brother!”

Me: “What’s wrong with a sister?”

Four-Year-Old Son: “Girls are gross!”

(My husband and I laugh at this before he leans down to whisper into our son’s ear. He looks up at me with shock.)

Four-Year-Old Son: “But Mommy can’t be a girl! She’s too cool!”
