On our way home tonight, Caleb was babbling away as usual from the back seat. All of a sudden, totally unprompted, he quietly said, "baby sister." I turned to Mike and asked if he heard it, too, and we both paused for a moment to listen again.
"What was that, buddy?" Mike asked. Silence. I chimed in, "what are you talking about?" More silence. We smiled and gave up trying. But a few seconds later...
"Baby sister."
"Baby sister!"
"BABY SISTER."
"Go see baby sister?"
"Go see?"
"Baby sister!"
And he carried on till we were almost home. A prophetic word, perhaps? Only time will tell! But in the meantime, it was pretty cute, even if he was just regurgitating something he picked up from who-knows-where.

His Christmas wish list? What a sweetie
