This, which was posted on Jack’s locker until yesterday, made me cry:
Earlier this week, Luke (my 4-almost-5-year-old) had the sharing bag for preschool. He was asked to bring something related to Thanksgiving. Do you know what he brought?
This:
One of his teachers told me later that Lukie pulled the picture out of his bag and proudly announced to his class, “I am thankful for our new baby!”
(He also proceeded to tell everyone that it’s a girl, which may or may not be accurate! I hope for the kids’ sake it is a girl… there will be a lot of confusion and disappointment if it’s not.)
Despite this being child #5, this is a new experience – to have all my kids so interested and so excited about this pregnancy and the new sibling they’ll have come Spring.
