On our third date Kyle and I talked about the number of kids we would like to have. Three was the magic number. Since the national average or trend was for a young family to have two kids in 2004. Coming from a family of eight, I 'had' to beat average. For Kyle three was a big number alright, he was one of two.
So here we are back to the agreement of our third date. Happily and healthily ( is there such a word?) we are on our way to introducing baby number three to our Bitting brood in December.
Today at Dim Sum, Aidan looked a the buttons on my sweater and said, "mom, there are four buttons on your sweater and we have you, me, daddy and Ethan. So when the baby comes you can't wear this sweater anymore because it does not have five buttons." Aidan is currently very interested in simple addition and subtraction.
When we asked Ethan if he would like a baby brother or a baby sister he says "a puppy." He sometimes walks around the house saying "when I am big..." as in when I am a big brother... It's all very cute. Ethan loves to be big. Perhaps this is why be is still wearing snow boots at the end of spring:) Every inch helps when you are trying to be BIG.
