"Mommy, why don't we have five kids?" L asked me the other day.
"Because we have four," I answered. (real profound, huh?)
"But, I want five. We need five. I want a brother and I will be very nice to him. I will play with him and Mommy, you won't even have to do much because I'll change his diapers," he sounded like he was pleading his case to buy a puppy.
"We have four kids because that's what God wants us to have." There, I thought, let's push this off on GOD because I don't want to get into birth control with my five year old son.
"Please, Mommy!" he begged. "Please, I want a brother, please, please."
"You already have a brother and there would be no guarantee you'd get another one. So, I suggest if you really want another baby in our house, then you pray and ask God for one and if He thinks we need one, then He'll give us one."
A few moments passed as there was complete silence from L. I could tell he was thinking and then he said, "You know what. I just prayed and stuff and I think I don't need one anymore. Four is good."
Yes, it is my dear child. FOUR IS GREAT!

Funny one of yours brought this up, my oldest did too the other week. While driving no less!! I almost drove off the road. The only way for me to have another baby in this house is if I babysit one. Or someone leaves one on my doorstep. Otherwise, shop closed...
