Brendan

Brendan sometimes makes me crazy. Ok a lot of the time. He is a seriously emotional kid...no idea where he got that from...(yes mom I know from me)...

He comes into our room often at night. Likes to sleep with a nightlight on and his door open. He would sleep cuddled up right next to me if I let him.

He made a comment after school about how he wished he could go to Florida like our neighborhood friends. I tried to make it more exciting by saying, "But you are getting a new brother or sister!!!!"

He then said in his sweet little voice, "I hope I get a baby brother. Then we can share a room and I won't be scared at night."

We have talked about him and Lila sharing a room for awhile until we see if this is a boy or girl and they get older. I mentioned this to Brendan and he loved this idea! He said one side for Lila and one side for him. That they could even have half blue and half pink:)

I also asked why he felt scared at night and he said he sometimes worries about tornadoes like they get in Kansas. Poor kid. I assured him that it is February in Michigan and we do not have to worry about tornadoes.

Guess we will be trying a sleepover with them in his room to see how this works out...
