The neighbor kids are super excited that we're having a baby - it's very sweet. They love coming over to draw pictures of the baby (see above, courtesy of 1st-grader Rose), guessing if it's a boy or girl and suggesting names.
And almost every time Rose sees me, she goes straight for my belly, puts her hands on it and turns one ear to "listen to the baby." She concentrates and listens intently, shushing me if I say one peep. But so far, every time, she tells me she didn't hear anything.
Recently I suggested that maybe the baby was so quiet because it was taking a nap. But she said to me: "No, I think it's whispering to its angel." I asked her what they were talking about and she said the baby was asking the angel, "What is out there in the other world?"
I nearly cried and just had to share this little heartwarming story with you, my dear reader. Kids are so in tune.
