"Listen earnestly to anything [your children] want to tell you, no matter what. If you don't listen eagerly to the little stuff when they are little, they won't tell you the big stuff when they are big, because to them all of it has always been big stuff." - Catherine M. Wallace

"Who Do You Love?"...
I recieved this book as a baby shower gift for Emma and she loved the book (as you can tell by the picture). Then she got too old for it and I put it up for the next kid. Now that we have Linnea I took it out and started reading it to Linnea. I really like it because it has little fur patches that Linnea can touch. I think it helps her and helped Emma understand that books are for enjoying.
Anyway... Emma gets to choose 2 stories before she goes down for her nap and for bed at night and yesterday she chose this book as one of them to read. The book goes through and asks the question "Who do you love?" on every page and on every page there is a different member of the family on it. When we got to the brother page Emma turned to me and said "Mommy! I don't have a brother." So I asked her if she would like one and she replied "No Mommy. Not right now." I laughed and told her not to worry and that it would be a very long time until she got a brother or another sister.
