Baby fever...

...Matt has it.

He's inexplicably convinced that we're going to be getting a new, "tiny" baby, as he says, though we keep saying that "maybe we will never get a new baby." A mom of a girl in his morning-out program just had a baby a few weeks ago, and when Matt saw him, he was so excited; he looked at me and shouted, "Mom'n'Matt take this tiny baby home with us!"

Interview with a toddler

Matt: Read the words [on my shirt].
Me: It says, "New Mom 2011."
Matt: Used to be old mom.
Me: Ha ha. No, I used to be a new mom. Now I'm kind of an old mom... Actually, before you were born, I wasn't even a mom.
Matt: NOW you are old mom. Dad old dad?
Me: He used to not be a dad, either, until you were born. Someday you might be a dad, when you're a grownup.
Matt (so excited): Then Matt carry Sam! Mom click Sam in!
Me: What are you talking about?
Matt: Then Matt pick up Sam in carrier and Mom click in buckle part! MATT carry Sam when Matt is dad. Matt PROBABLY pick black carrier, get it back out of box.
Me: Okay... Sam won't be a baby, though. Someday you might have your own baby.
Matt: Just like Mom! Just like Dad! First Matt is baby. Now Sam is baby. Mom USED TO BE baby.
Me: Yep, I was a baby once, too.
Matt: The mom of Mom is...
Me: Do you remember who my mom is?
Matt: It's Ross!
Me: Ha ha ha. Nope.
Matt: He's my [your] brother.
Me: Yep. And my mom is... DeeDee!
Matt: Dad used to be a baby. Mom used to be a baby. EVERYBODY used to be a baby.
