"I No Teach To Catch Flies!"

In our family, we have been very excited since Christmas when Alicia told us that she was expecting Baby Williamson #3. Mark Garrett has been very pleased with the prospect of being a big brother to a second sibling. He is pretty confident that he has done a great job with Luke and is ready for new challenge. He is also quite sure "it will be a baby sister!" We are not quite that confident, but we will find out soon! Luke has been a different story, however. He has been fairly uninterested in the concept of being a big brother! However, that may be changing!

At school this week, Alicia was talking to Luke's teacher, who told her about a book they had read. In the book, the mother of a young frog had a baby frog and apparently the story was about how the young frog was the big brother and how the frog taught his new sibling how to be a frog. After reading the story, Luke's teacher asked he would be a good big brother when his Mommy had her baby. Luke looked at her and calmly replied, "I no teach to catch flies (apparently that was a big part of the little frog's job!)"

We are pleased that Luke is now getting excited about his new sibling (that would be a baby sister for those of you who take Mark Garrett's side in this!)" However, we are even more pleased that we will not have to worry about Luke teaching the new baby how to catch flies! I love this kid!
