A Baby Brother, A Baby Sister, and A Baby Fish

No, we are not having twins (still just one and still just a boy, as far as we know...) and no, we are not getting a fish. But this is what Harrison is telling the ladies who work in the church nursery. :) We picked him up after service on Sunday, and one lady said, "Well, Harrison told us that he is getting a brother and a sister. And also a fish."

I can picture exactly how the conversation went...

• Church lady -- "Harrison, are you going to have a baby brother or a baby sister?"
• Harrison -- "Yes."
• Church lady (to herself) -- Hmm...
• Church lady -- "Harrison, are you going to have a baby brother?"
• Harrison -- "Yes."
• Church lady -- "Harrison, are you going to have a baby sister?"
• Harrison -- "Yes."
• Church lady (to herself) -- I give up.
• Harrison -- "Fish."

I know that he knows that there is a baby in my belly, and I think that he knows that it's a brother since we practice saying "brother" (which sounds like "bub-ber"). When we ask him where his brother is, he'll tell us that he's in my belly. I've told him that "brother" means that the baby is a boy, but that information might not have been digested just yet. In any event, we have never mentioned a fish in my belly or a fish coming to live with us anytime soon, so that is complete fiction.

Another funny story -- Harrison went to dinner with Grandmom and Grandpop ("Gambob") Harper this past weekend while Chris and I met some friends for dinner. There were tons of kids at the restaurant -- 6 o'clock is kiddie happy hour! -- so Harrison pointed out one baby and said "baby." Grandmom said, "Yes, and a baby is going to live at your house soon." Harrison's eyes got real big and he started frantically looking around -- we think he thought that that baby was the one that was going to come live at his house! "So that's the baby that everyone keeps talking about?!?! Well, bring it back over here..."
