So, when I was pregnant with A & Z and we had the ultrasound to determine their sex, the tech said, "Baby B is definitely a boy!" To which I responded, "Thank God only one can be a girl!!"
It's no secret that I'm a mom who wants to raise boys. I still jokingly say I'm not happy to have a daughter. Of course, I love Ayla. There's just more to worry about with a girl....anyway.....
Tonight, I was cooking dinner and Ayla pulled the stool over to the stove saying, "Cook, Me! Cook, Me too!" And so we made some nice Medeterranean chicken together. We chattered back and forth about the hot stove and sharp knives, both of which can be "Ouchie." Then she sprinkled some seasonings and stirred tomatoes and I mentioned that there were no boys helping tonight. She kept saying, "No boys cook. Me cook and Mommy too!" It was nice to have that time with just her, and I thought about how we'll have that more and more as she grows older. I'm starting to warm up to the idea of a daughter and special moments we'll share......
.......especially when I went upstairs to check on the boys and found them both completely naked, jumping on my bed.
Love this!
