Big brothers and little brothers

Yesterday morning as I buckled Elly into her carseat, I told her we'd be having pictures taken of the baby in my belly while she was at school.

Elly: "And it's going to be a girl."
Me: "You think it's a girl?"
Elly: "Yeah, cuz I'm afraid of big brothers."
Me: "Well, even if it's a boy it will never be the big brother, it will only be your little brother, because you're bigger. And besides, brothers aren't so bad. Your Uncle Brian is my big brother."
Elly: "Yeah, I know."

So we went to the ultrasound, and yes, it's a boy!

Picking up from school:
Me: "Eliana, the baby in my belly is a boy. You're going to have a baby brother!"
Elly: "Awww, a baby boy!" Hugs my belly. Pats my belly. "Hi baby brother."
