1,2,3,4,5,6.....

Wow! Are all these yours???? You are a brave woman! Woa, you are more woman than I. Lots of helpers there I see. And you have a little surprise baby! I don't often see a fifth grader and a baby in the same family.... Do they all have the same mother? (I am sensitive about that one. What would you say if they didn't?? Kind of a long personal story to retell in the grocery store)You are so young. You are done now right? I would have had more but (fill in the blank with any sort of reason I have heard them all) Hey Jr. (to their own son) How would you like to have 5 other siblings?? Mommy, can we have a baby in our family? Oh! You are making me want to have more. What a beautiful family. I love your family. My kids love to play at your house. You make having 6 look so easy.

Andrew "It is great to have lots of kids because you have less work to do."
Ben "I hope we always have a baby in our family"
Mandi "I want you to have at least 10 kids Mom!"
Sarah "Can I hold him? C'mon Audrey. Let's play. I'll help you Andrew."
Audrey "No Mom, I am playing with (fill in with each of her siblings)
Noah "smile, laugh, smile, chuckle, coo...."
