Said wilth all sincerity by my son at the breakfast table - "Dear God, please send me a baby. A boy baby. Mommy can grow it in her belly. We really need another baby, please. Amen" . His chubby boy hands were folded and his eye were closed.
(At this exact moment, my almost two year old daughter shrieks like Xena the Warrior Princess and hurls her bowl of oatmeal at me. I'm pretty sure it's a sign, but I'm not exactly sure what it means.)
Me- "J buddy, I don't think Mommy and Daddy are going to have any more babies. We're very lucky to have you and Audrey, but I think our family is complete."
J - "But Mom, I'll take care of it! I'll carry it up the stairs and everything." (I still not sure what to make of the stairs offer.)
Me - "I'm sorry Lovebug, but I don't think we're going to have any more babies. When you're a grown up and have a nice wife, you can have as many babies as you want."
At this point, J laughs like this is hilarious and finally starts eating his food. I'm confident we'll be revisiting this topic soon.
This marks the third time in the last week he has campaigned for another baby. Apparently he's tired of asking me and is now directing his request to the management.
So just in case any higher powers read my blog, please don't send me any more babies! I love the ones I got, but my hands are literally full of children at the moment.
In exchange, I promise I'll keep my 4 year old from carrying any babies up the stairs! I also promise to be the best mommy I can be to the two I've got, but I'm pretty sure my quality of parenting will plummet with any new additions.

Bwahahahaha. I hope the higher authority listens to you and not your son. Just saying.
Have a terrific day. :)
Hahaha. This is AWESOME. Love it.
Yeah the stairs thing had me smiling ear to ear, sounds like something Rex would say to me, too...
That is actually awfully sweet of him :) But yes let's hope any higher powers take your side with this.
Maybe a puppy would do the trick?
I love the last part! Plummeting quality is what you don't want in parenting. Tell you what, have J put in a prayer for us. We would love another and I'll even take the request for a boy! :-)
Love kids! They really do say the darndest things.

How cute!
Oh no! That is hilarious but I'm with you in the no more babies camp. One more and I'd be in the loony bin.
LOL! That is hilarious! So funny, good luck with the stairs :)
I just picture in my head your little boy taking care of a baby...too funny! Then he would be like mom can we send it back? :)
I'm with you. I found two to be a great stopping point. He probably just wishes she would play like he wants her to play.
Hehe. I know where he's going with this. If he can't get a baby maybe he thinks next he can ask for a snake or a mouse or a dog and you'll be so relieved he's given up on the baby you'll let him have one.
Kids are genius that way.
I hope they prayers get missed by the big guy....! But I think it is too sweet he wants a baby brother....ahhh! come on what's one more!! Alright your right....maybe a trip to the toy store will do instead!!
That is so cute! Now that he's requested higher help you may have a sudden change of heart. Lol! My parenting skills have definitely plummeted, though not until I had #4. ;)
And I like the puppy idea or maybe a fish.
I think the key word here is "boy". He doesn't just want a baby, he wants a baby boy. Then they can team up against that oatmeal throwing sister!
So cute! I hope the prayers of cute kids don't get any preferential treatment by "the Big Guy."
Haha. Cute one, especially his offer to care for the baby. If only he knew...
