Last night I had some alone time with Jameson before bed. (Stellan was not allowed to have story time and therefore went to bed early since he does not know how to behave at dinner time.)
We read a story together and then had a chance to chat. He started telling me about ways he was going to help me with the new baby. He wants to help her (he chose a girl but usually wants a girl) play, he'll bring her toys, he'll give her milk from the fridge (I clarified that one) and he agreed to bring her diapers too. He asked what size she needed, just to be sure. He also thought it would be a good idea to bring her a stuffed animal. That gave me an idea.
I suggested to Jameson that we go for a special Mommy and Jameson day after we get back from Canada. We could go out for breakfast and then go out and buy a stuffed animal for the baby. He was a bit hesitant and then asked if Stellan could come along. I told him that it would just be a special day for the two of us, Stellan could stay home with daddy. I don't think he liked the idea too much. I tried to entice him with muffins at Wegmans.
"So...we could have muffins and eat them upstairs at Wegmans?"
"Yes sweetie."
"And Daddy and Stellan could come too?"
He totally doesn't get the whole idea of a Mommy and Jameson day.
I tried to explain that Stellan could stay with daddy and then, on another day, I would take Stellan for a special day and he (Jameson) could stay with daddy.
"So you and Daddy would stay home with Stellan and I would go to Wegmans by myself? I would get lost."
We'll work on it.
