big brother/sister advice...

.... from a two year old (oh no! in almost a month he will be a three year old!)

over breakfast this morning elisha and i were talking about a friend of his who is about to get a baby sister.

here is our conversation :

me- "elisha, soon claire is going to be a big sister... did you know that she is going to have a baby sister just like you do?!"

e- just kind of nods and smiles while devouring his yogurt.

me- "can you help her be a good big sister? what will you tell her when you see her?"

e-" i say- claire, just hug her."

me- "is there anything else she should do?"

e-"kiss"

me-" what about if the baby is sleeping?"

e-"be quiet"

well, i think that about sums it up... don't you? maybe e should write a handbook ;-)

i hope that makes you smile.... i'm still smiling and it's past lunch!
