Cute Little Zack

Zack & his cousin Ally

This week during Jeff's weekly scheduled conversation with his son, Zack said the cutest thing. It broke my heart, but he said it with so much compassion and care.

His words were-

"Daddy, I really want to be there when the baby is born".

This means so much to Jeff and I because it means we have shown him that the baby is his brother, not a child to replace him. That's hard work to prove when he's 10 hours away and has his mother's constant opinion on things hanging over his head.

Jeff's words-

"I know buddy, we'll talk about it when we see you in a couple of weeks".

Jeff & I will have to explain delicately that its his mommy's choice when to bring him up for the April visit and not spill the beans on her secret wedding (which is playing havoc on when she will bring him up because the two plans clash with each other).

I have been trying to think of ways to get him up here around the time baby Drew arrives so he can share in the excitement, if she decides not to bring him up. The only thing is, we have no idea when that little baby will decide to come so its hard to plan. But, I will try my hardest to think of something!

What is with that link? =/

Wow, what a situation poor kiddo
He sounds like such a sweet kid, it's a sin that his mom makes it so difficult for you to have to plan on how he will be involved. =(

Good Luck with everything!!
