New baby

Last night while we were sitting at the bat eating, Nathan said, "When we get a new baby next year, it can sit there (pointing to a bar stool)." Bruce and I both said right away that there will be no new baby next year. Nathan asked why. We told him that we were happy with the three kids that we have now, so we don't need to have another baby. He just couldn't understand why we were done having kids.

On that same vein, Nathan has been a really good big brother lately. Very responsible. Last night immediately after dinner he kept asking Bruce if they were ready to go over to the neighbor's. I told Nathan that if he is in a hurry to go over to the neighbors that he can help us clear the table. He immediately brought the plates to the counter and put the ketchup back in the fridge. The he took the washcloth and wiped the bar off. Granted he probably wiped the crumbs on the floor, but he is trying!
