The things they say
Posted in Family Life
So we're having a boy. Yay! I'm really happy that the Lord has seen fit to make us "even", 3 boys and 3 girls (Lord willing). We've been tossing around names and have settled on Christopher. That day that we were at the OB, waiting for the dr. to come in, I entertained the kids by trying to decide what his middle name should be. We were being silly, suggesting middle names like "Columbus" or "Robin" Aria, in her 3 year old mind (almost 4!) latched onto that conversation, unbeknownst to me. A few days later, we went to the library. I had to drop an audio tape at the counter that somehow missed being put back into its case along with the others when I returned it some weeks earlier (oops). As I was digging around in my bag, Aria decided to make conversation with the librarian behind the counter. She smiled really big and said "Guess What????" The librarian good naturedly said "what" Aria replied (very loudly) "My mommy has a baby in her belly and him name is Cwisotpher Wobin!" I laughed and said "um, I think that one is already taken" The librarian assured me there was room in the world for another. Since then, Aria has told many Other people about her new baby brother and his name, and I've given up trying to explain.

Congratulations! That is wonderful. I think the name is darling, but I doubt he would later in life. :+) My single son (out of five children) is John Henry. I just love it. :+) Christopher is one of my favorite names. We had a much harder time choosing our last daughter's name because we already had three others. It was fun reading through all the name books.
Again, congratulations!
Warmly,
Kate

lol...that is awesome!! I'm sure Milne would be flattered (or at least he should be) to have so worthy a young man carry a name like that. I'm equally sure that ya'll have sense (and then some) not to weigh down the kid w/a name which will make him very grateful he's a home schooler, lol!!
