There is NO bundle of joy on its way into our home.  I believe my days of having babies is complete (this will be another blog post, another day)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday I was thinking about my boys playing lego together and how much fun they were having.  I began thinking about little Cadence and how nice it would be for her to have a sister to enjoy girlie stuff with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Out of fun, I asked the boys if they would like another brother or sister.  Here is what they told me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me:  Connor would you like another brother or sister?&lt;br /&gt;Connor: yup, a sister.....mmmm, nope, another Connor!&lt;br /&gt;Ethan says to Connor:  We can't have two Connors because when we call "Connor" both of you will look and neither of you will know who should come!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me:  Ethan, would you like another brother or sister?&lt;br /&gt;Ethan:  Nope!&lt;br /&gt;Me:  no, how come?  Wouldn't it be nice if Cadence had a sister to play dolls, and barbies, and ponies with?&lt;br /&gt;Ethan:  Nope!&lt;br /&gt;Me:  Why?&lt;br /&gt;Ethan:  Because I'll play with her.&lt;br /&gt;Me:  You'll play dolls, and Barbies, and ponies?&lt;br /&gt;Ethan:  Yup, and maybe she'll get some Little Pet Shop toys and I can play those too!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I should record Ethan saying this, because I just picture it now.  Cadence wants Ethan to play and he tells her no way will he play girlie toys!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Connor will probably have no time for such antics!  He'll be busy trying to get Cadence to play his toys with him!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1466487544814021182-5441529964674274620?l=carolynbraun.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://carolynbraun.blogspot.com/feeds/5441529964674274620/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://carolynbraun.blogspot.com/2009/11/brother-or-sister.html#comment-form' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1466487544814021182/posts/default/5441529964674274620'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1466487544814021182/posts/default/5441529964674274620'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://carolynbraun.blogspot.com/2009/11/brother-or-sister.html' title='A Brother or A Sister?'/><author><name>Carolyn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03805511889112616594</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1466487544814021182.post-7642037815763979120</id><published>2009-11-10T20:58:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-10T21:03:45.448-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Joining the Blogging Circle</title><content type='html'>I have decided to join the ranks of family bloggers!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I struggle with the want to create a blog for myself, and all 3 of the kids with the ability to actually do this.
