Pretending

Early in my pregnancy with Catelynn (before we knew her gender), Wesley liked to pretend that his baby sister or brother was riding in the backseat of the car with him. He didn't seem to prefer one over the other, but rather rotated them fairly. One day, he told me that his baby brother AND his baby sister were both back there. Fearing unrealistic expectations, I said, "Wesley, Mommy is only having one baby; is one of those pretend?" Without missing a beat, Wesley replied matter-of-factly, "Mommy, they are both pretend!"
