Jonathan found a doll baby in some hand-me-down toys that we were cleaning for the baby. He has taken to the baby (maybe it is all of the talk of a new baby coming to our house?). He doesn't play with it in the way that I typically see children playing with dolls. It is like he thinks the baby is his new pal. He was coloring with markers the other morning and wanted the baby to sit right next to him. The next thing I saw was Jonathan holding the baby by the head with one hand and holding the marker in the baby's hand with his other hand. Then he said, "look, Mommy. Baby color with markers" and proceeded to color the paper with the marker that was in the baby's hand. He also wanted to share some of his crackers with the baby. It will be a challenge for him to understand that the new baby is not going to get up and play right away.
Jonathan calls himself Jonah. He likes the story of Jonah and The Big Fish in his picture bible. He used to call himself Jona (as if to cut off the last syllable of his name), but now I think he deliberately calls himself Jonah because he likes the story.
Identity crisis: Jonathan thinks that the snowman we put up for Christmas is Santa. Snowman/Santa... guess they both begin with S and are related to Christmas.
My mother dreamed that we had a girl, my dad thinks the baby is girl (he was wrong with Carla, so keep that in mind), and Abby thinks it is a girl (Abby has yet to be wrong in her predictions). We should know in the next two weeks or so.

More importantly, Jonathan thinks it's a girl and big brothers are hardly ever wrong about those kinds of things.
Jonah is a very good name so at least he has picked a nickname well. And I think he will make a very good big brother. Anna has been feeding all her stuffed animals Cheerios and giving them kisses lately. She will make a good big sister if the Lord wills.
I can't wait to meet the newest Guild baby!
