Elijah favorite color is, no doubt, pink. He asked if he could buy a pink dress we saw at a garage sale last week "in case our baby is a girl". Getting to dress up at his dear friend Maya's house the other night was a treasured moment for him. He found walking in the high heeled shoes about as challenging as his mom does though. (Notice you can dress up the boy but he's still Johnny Cash deep inside.) I think I'll keep my eyes open for some similar dress up clothes for him at sales this spring.
As with all good things, though, the evening of pretend had to end. I think most of the tears were due to the late hour and a post ice cream crash.
Its probably fun when you live in a "boys'" house to check out all the cool girl stuff at a friend's house. (Have to admit, I'm not very girly. When I tried on a friend's maternity dress a while back, the boys just stared and told me I looked like a princess. Don't see me in dresses much, eh?) The boys insist I'm carrying their sister and just refer to the baby as "she" most days. All I'm certain of is boy or girl, the child is pretty lucky to have Elijah and Tobias as big brothers!
