A non-comprehensive list of things Adam has convinced people of in the past few months:
“We’re having a baby girl.” (We’re not.) “Our hotel had a giant toilet.” (It was normal sized. It just didn’t have a toddler seat attached.) “We went camping yesterday.” (We haven’t camped since September.) “I’m potty trained.” (He most definitely isn’t.) “We’re getting a pet cat.” (Said cat is not in the cards.) “My belly’s too full.” (He was being asked to eat a meal not on his preferred list.) “This melon tastes bad.” (It actually did…) “Our baby’s name is going to be Michael.” (If our track record proves anything, it’s that this baby will be nameless until minutes before birth.) “Our baby’s name is going to be Noah.” (See above.) His list may be longer, but somehow it doesn’t compare to Nathan telling his teacher: “My Papi calls my Mom ‘Mamacita’.” (I emphatically correct that he does not, not, not!)

This post makes me giggle. My brother once told his kindergarten teacher that our dad was a crocodile wrestler (he was not). Thirty years later and we still tease him about it.

I have inferred from this poem that you are pregnant with baby boy #3... Sorry I haven't seen you in awhile and am late to the announcement! Congrats and what a cute way of capturing all the funny things kiddos say when they're little.

I am! We've missed all those district-wide meetings this year. Sometimes you have to share your baby news over the Annual SOLSC!
