There has been a regular conversation going on in my house for the last few weeks. Apparently my boy has inherited my gene for the love of all things Christmasy and the anticipation is killing him.
'Mama, is it Christmas today?
'No Ben. It's over a month away. But after Christmas the baby will come!'
Satisifed with the answer for now the boy moved on. Until the next day when he asked me the same question.
'Mama, is it Christmas today? Maybe tomorrow?'
'No Ben, it's still a month away. Let me show you on this calendar here.'
Still not satisfied with my answer he now asks me:
'Mama, is it Christmas today? Is it tomorrow? Is the baby come out of you right now? Is it going to be coming out of you soon?'
Very subtle Mr. Ben. He is one eager boy that is for sure! He is excited about Christmas lights and decorations and cookies and hot chocolate too.
Looking for something?
Well, Hello There!
Mama in the City since 2008 and blogging since 2009!
My first apartment baby is now a full on boy and we struggle with finding space in our condo for his growing toy collection. I'm also a new mum to our second apartment baby, born January 13, 2012!
I have a husband who is an excellent cook and takes amazing photos. I work as a labor and delivery nurse and really love the work that I do and gave birth to baby #2 at my work place.
I use this space to write about my family and to share my passion about breastfeeding, birth and parenting. I have a fantastic purse collection and have loved watching it grow, mostly lovely gifts over the years from my husband. I currently have a closet full of purses that are too small or impractical to fit a diaper or sippy cup in, and so they are on hold for future years.
Have a question or a comment? Email me! I also love to read comments left on posts, so feel free to leave me a note!

November 24, 2011 at 5:22 PMYou are on to something Jill! I've just got our calendar and it's tucked away and ready for Dec. 1. However, I made the rookie mistake of bringing it out and showing Ben right after I brought it home. What was I thinking! Now it is out of sight and out of mind for a few more days!
