We told our 5 year old about the baby

We told our 5 year old last night that he is going to have a baby brother or
sister … He was very pensive the whole time and thought about it
quite a bit.

We asked what he thought about having a baby brother or sister.
"Brother!!"
We told him it wasn’t a choice, so he decided it must be a girl since all his baby cousins are girls.

He asked the following questions:

• Will I have to share my bionicles?
• How are you going to sleep?  Don’t sleep on your stomach or you might hurt the baby!
• Are you going to sleep in those clothes?  Won’t the baby fall out
  when you take them off?  (So we had to explain the baby was IN my
  stomach and I showed him my stomach.)
• How will the baby get out?  (It will be born.  Oh!  I was born.)
• Can I sit next to the baby on the way home from the hospital?
• Can I teach it to ride a bike?  She can have my little blue one.
• Can she sleep with me?  I’ll wake you up if she cries.

It was very cute and a much more thoughtful conversation than I was expecting.
