Reactions of the "Baby"

We have been talking with Haley and Hannah about the newest addition to the family. I think Haley is getting excited about it. I told her and Hannah that they would be "aunts" when the baby arrives. Haley thinks that is ever so cool. Hannah's reply, "I don't want to be an ant, they bite you." Of course, in her little mind the only aunt is an ant. When I tried to explain that she would be an aunt like her aunt T she said, "I not big enough." She also told her brother that she didn't want him to have a baby because, "I the baby." I think she is getting a little insecure already because she is asking everyone to "hug me" and this from the most independent child I have ever seen. We have until January to prepare her. Good luck to us!

On another note, I am cleaning out my attic, which in itself is a major job. But, I am also getting ready to have a yard sale the first Saturday of June. Will be placing all the "stuff" no one else wanted that came from Mom's and a bunch of "stuff" I've stored since Dad passed 18 years ago. Mike said, "you won't get rid of any of this stuff. It has been long enough that when you start going through all of this, you won't be able to let it go." actually, since time has passed when I first went through Mom's things, there maybe even MORE stuff I will decide to LET GO. I climbed in the attic this afternoon to start bringing things down and realized I should have started this 3 months ago. So, I will go and get busy again.
