I remembered some more

Jackson wants another baby, badly, and he keeps telling us that he needs to have a baby sister. WE ARE NOT EXPECTING!, but I thought is was a little entertaining and told him that if God wanted to give us another baby then that would be fun, huh? Well since I affirmed it, he has just ran with it. He told his teachers at school that we were going to have 2 babies in our house, has told several strangers at the grocery store that he was getting a baby sister soon and then just the other morning when we were eating breakfast he told me out of the blue "mommy, my baby sister is already growing in your tummy." What the what??!!! He better not be prophesizing over me, my hands are full with these 2 and the ear problems. I guess it already feels like we have another newborn in the house, because mommy's not getting any sleep right now.

All that aside, Jackson really does love all babies. He talks about all his friends new baby siblings that have been born this year and even prays for them occasionally at night. On Thanksgiving, while we were being blessed with a full feast cooked for for us at the Liniger's, Brenda asked us all to say what we were thankful for. When we came to Jackson I was really expecting "lincoln logs" to be his, but I was melted when he looked around, saw his brother and said "Calvin." They are already so close, I know there are years ahead of fighting, but even now I don't have to get on Jackson hardly at all about sharing his toys.....he just naturally loves to include Calvin in what he's doing.

Calvin is waving at everything, loves to watch brother build his latest creation of Lincoln Logs and just generally loves to be involved. I do see the gentle side about 60% of the day, but until this fluid drains I think we'll still be seeing the irritable Calvin for awhile.
