"I heard your baby's going to be named Olive," one of Elias's classmates, Jayla, says to me.
"You're right and she should be her soon," I say.
"When she comes remember to breathe," says the precocious five-year-old.
"That is great advice, I will."
A boy so bundled in winter gear, I can hardly see his face, says, "It will be hard work when you go to the doctor."
"Yes, yes, it will."
"Just remember to be tough," he says, as he walks towards the door.
"I'll try to remember that, thank you!"
I am loving your updates lately, but they are driving me nuts, too! Every time I see you have an update, my heart leaps! You and Olive are TEASING us! :)

Excellent advice! Too cute! What's that little girl up to? She must know it's cold outside and have decided to wait!

Some of the best advice I get these days comes from people 5 and under. xo
