Funny neighbor kids


The neighbor kids came by yesterday. Here is my transcript of their visit.

(knock knock knock)
-Todd barks-
(knock knock knock)
-My mom answers the door-
"Hi."
"Hi. Can we play with your baby?"
"Well. He's a little bit too little to play with, but would you like to see him?"
"Yea!"
(There are 4 kids on the porch. 3 from next door and 1 from a few doors down)
"Here he is."
"Oh. He's so tiny. When was he born?"
"Not last Sunday, but the Sunday before that."
"Did it hurt?" (This was asked by Delaney; she told me that having babies hurts when they were over playing in the yard with Todd a couple of weeks ago)
"Yes it did, but not too bad and it was all worth it."
(Still Delaney) "I want to have a baby."
"You can when you grow up and get married."
"I don't want to have a baby, I just want to buy one!"
This started a discussion (with 4 kids all under that age of 9) about how adoption is different than "buying a baby". They crack me up. This exchange was much funnier in person and maybe it doesn't even make sense written down, but it's the best I can do. Ann came for a visit today and weighed Theodore. He was 7 lbs. 13.5 oz. last Wednesday (August 30th) when she came for his check-up and he weighed 8 lbs 13.5 oz. today when she came! He gained a whole pound in 1 week. At least we are sure that he is thriving and healthy. All you have to do is take one look at him to know that!
