I've written before about how Little Man sometimes likes to be the one who tells a bedtime story, instead of having his Daddy or me do it.
Last night, when I was putting him to bed, Little Man told me he wanted to tell me a story, and asked me what I wanted to hear a story about.
Since he often requests stories about the baby in my tummy, I thought I'd let him take a crack at a story about his baby brother.
Little Man: "Once upon a time, there was a baby in Mama's tummy. And the baby went 'waaah waaah waah' (said with fists balled up in front of his eyes in best baby imitation). Then baby went into a forest. And a lion saw baby and went 'ROAAAAR!' And then lion eat the baby."
Me: "What??? No! The lion doesn't eat the baby! That's not a good story!"
Little Man: "Yes. Lion eat the baby. The end."
I'm thinking the novelty of the baby brother is already starting to wear off.
Love,
Catwoman.

oops. time for a new story!!!
Note to self Catwoman:
Watch Little Man VERY CLOSELY at zoo when new baby arrives.
Hallie :)
But that's a good story! He's so smart to know that he needs a REALLY big cat to eat the baby, because a normal house cat just won't do the job. He.is.a.genius.
Whoa.... I just had a weird foreshadowing feeling that LM will be a writer one day... and a very successful one...
seriously.
Darn Lions!
Oh my goodness!!! That's priceless!
And so begins the cold, harsh light of reality of big brotherhood....
If Tiny Man is as big as you say he is, this won't be a problem for long. And, is it wrong that I laughed out loud at the story?
I love his certainty and finality- no messing around in determining Tiny Man's fate: "Yes... The end." At least he has creative confidence! (And is hysterical)
Little Man is not to be left alone with Tiny Man. Especially if Little Man is hungry :)
:) What an imagination Little Man has.
Oh dear. There goes that vivid imagination.
He's already the quintessential big brother. Just wait until he tries to sell elevator tickets to your belly...
Okay I know I shouldn't but I am LOL!
That's allI have to say.
"The end"
Look out baby bro, Little Man means business! Funny!
Hey do you have a French Canadian accent? I'm trying to picture you in my mind over here.
Oh, that's not a good sign!
Oh boy, you're in for some fun!
yep...you're in trouble! I'll expect to hear about wrestling matches between your two boys in about a year from now. :)
Oh dear Lord.
Yikes, definitely no unsupervised playtime....
I know that shouldn't be funny, but, it really is.
