Babies on the Brain

Lately Janie has been enraptured by the idea of wishing on stars. Coming up with these wishes must take up a good two or three hours every day, although since she's usually asleep by the time that the stars come out, I'm not quite clear on how she's dispensing these wishes.

Also of great importance in this task is the fact that a wish must be kept secret. We've told her that if you tell a wish it won't come true, and this presents a problem because Janie's second favorite thing to do these days is talk. About everything. Nonstop. Until I want to swing by the hospital and have a tubal ligation just to ensure that I will never have to repeat this experience.

Janie has decided that there is a happy middle ground to this problem, and that is telling her potential wishes to just ONE person (or occasionally two or three). It seems that as long as one person is kept in the dark (and unfortunately, that person is rarely me), Janie has decided that the wish gods will see fit to grant her said desire.

Anyway, I now present you with a smattering of the potential wishes Janie will make this week:

-- How about I wish that you [mommy] were pregnant...a whole 8 months pregnant!

-- How about I wish that you have a baby boy and we name it Ollie?

-- How about it's a girl and we still name it Ollie?

-- Aunt Jen, I wished last night that daddy would get married!

There was also some discussion about God, and whether he would make people sick. Jessica was doubtful that God would purposefully make people sick and Janie retorted that God made germs and germs made people sick. Ergo God=infection, I suppose. Seems about right to me.
