Baby Braxton

Ace on the examining table at the OB's office, waiting for the doctor to check on "Baby Braxton."

This biased mom just thinks he's the most precious kid in the entire world.

Whenever I talk about Lily Kate, Ace says he is experiencing the same symptoms with "Baby Braxton" in his belly. Braxton is the name of the baby to whom Ace gave all of his pacis. The last doctor "listened to Baby Braxton's heart" and really played into everything Ace was saying. I'm not sure what yesterday's doctor thought of our little make-believe.

HOW could you ever tell this face that he doesn't have a baby in his belly?

I'm sure there are lots of intellectual reasons why I shouldn't play along but, for right now, there's no harm in it and Ace loves to share symptoms with me and Lily Kate.
