This really isn't turning into a "my kids" blog, but I had to recount (and remember) this.
I decided to go to Toronto with my sister this coming Wednesday. She is flying with her four kids and she wanted help on the plane. We will go to her sister-in-law's wedding and I am bringing Eden. Greg is staying home with Ezra and Gila for 2 days.
Anyway, during dinner, Greg told the kids that we had an exciting announcement to make. I guess Greg figured it was exciting that he would be home alonewith the two older kids and he wanted to make them feel good about it and get them excited as well. So, Ezra got a very happy look on his face and said he knew what we were going to tell him. I innocently asked him what he thought the announcement was. Ezra, with the hugest excited smile asked, "are you pregnant?!?"
Unfortunately we had to break the news to Ezra that that was not our exciting news. The kids were pretty happy about the prospect of having a special sleepover with Dad (although I am not sure why it is any different than any other night- we all sleep in the same house every night, but who am I to lessen children's excitement).
I guess Greg and I learned a lesson tonight. We should always think before we speak and try to look at things from a child's perspective. Pretty funny.
