Jared with our sweet niece, Mae. She is currently the desktop picture on his laptop and the topic of many conversations about "cute things." Jared might love blood and guts and Bigfoot and guns, but he positively melts around baby girls.
|
The first thing Jared said to me when he woke up this morning was, "I was thinking about our future babies." No introduction, no good morning--he just dove right into it.
"Oh really?" I asked, "What were you thinking about them?"
"Oh, just how I'm always going to play video games with them and stuff."
Other statements that Jared has recently made about our "future babies" include the following:
-----
Jared: "I'm going to teach our babies philosophy and we'll have rooms for different trades so they can all learn a trade. There will be a wood-working room, a video-game room [because video-gaming is a trade now?], a metallurgy room . . . "
Me: "What about the girls' trade rooms Jared? Do they get any special rooms?"
Jared:"Ya, those are the girls' rooms." Silly me.
-----
Building on that last one . . .
Jared: "We're only going to have girl babies, ok? Lots and lots of little girls. But we should also I guess have one boy baby so we can pass down the family name."
-----
Laura: "What's your favorite color today, Jare?"
Jared: "Babies."
-----
Laura: "What's your favorite color today, Jare?"
Jared: "Babies."
-----
And finally,
Jared: "I'm excited for when we'll be able to move back to America. We'll be so strong. And you'll be so pregnant." Wait . . . what??
(Don't necessarily count on that last one, guys. He's a big talker.)
