Baby Names

I was driving last week with the kids and Alexis says this:

"Mom, if you are having a girl I want to name her WENDY."

"Oh. Well, Daddy and I already like another name."

"What?"

"Sydney."

"Maybe. Cindy or Wendy?"

"NO. Not CINDY! S-Y-D-N-E-Y!"

"We'll see. I'll think about it. Do you already have a name picked out for a boy too? (She said it as though she was insulted we didn't discuss this with her first.)

"Yes. We like OWEN if it's a boy."

"Hmm. Fine. You can name it OWEN if it's a boy. And WENDY if it's a girl. Or SYDNEY. We'll see."

And of course Carter chimes in now:

"Sezzis, it's NOT a girl. It's a boy!"

(Some days he's certain I'm having a boy. Other day's he's certain it's a boy and a girl. The boy in my stomach and a girl in my left boob of all places. Yes, we try to hide how he points that out in public.)

I must say I'm quite shocked at the demands coming from my little 5 year old who was still sitting tightly restrained by her little 5 point harness car seat. Because for a few minutes there I though I was talking to a teenager! Kinda reminds me of those commercials where the Dad still see's his teenagers a little kids. That commercial cracks me up...and really confuses Alexis when she sees it. She doesn't get how a 4 year old boy can grab car keys and go to work.
