Carson's really into babies. And marriage. Like, he constantly talks about getting married and having his own babies, "when I drow (grow) up and det (get) big." The other day, I heard him planning with Layla, "Lays, when we drow up, we can det may-eed and hab our own kids!" Layla: (uncomprehending but agreeable) "Yeah, Hawsee (Carsie)! Otay!"
I ever-so-casually interjected (trying to plant a seed of truth, here), "Yes, when you get much older, you'll be able to find a nice friend to marry, and Layla will find a husband! That will be fun." Carson: "No, mom. Layla will marry ME because I LOVE her!" Me: (pause...then, stubbornly and lamely) "I'm glad you love her. Aren't you lucky that you'll have Lays for your sister forever? Let's read a book..."
Equally hilarious, slash, eye-rolling is Carson's regular questioning, "Mom, when are you and dad detting anudder baby? (looking at me with adult-like concern) Don't you miss your udder babies, mommy?" Me: "You and Layla are my babies, and I love you." Carson: "But I want some moi (more) babies. I miss my udder babies!"
Sorry, kid. Here, have a stuffed animal.

LOL on "have a stuffed animal." that's funny, britt...i applaud your valiant effort at planting the seed of truth, but sometimes there's no arguing, right?
That is funny. Kate is also always talking about getting married. She thinks she is going to marry her cousin Cooper or her daddy.
My boys thought they were going to marry me. Then Annabelle. I think I have explained it enough though that they understand it now.
Hannah als talks about marrying Linus. . . and when I said that no, she couldn't - she said "well - then natalie can't either." fine, you win kid.
I just spit on my screen. "have a stuffed animal kiddo" - can't wait to see you and your sweeties tonight!
