Birthday

Lillian has decided what she wants for her birthday. She want's a baby. Specifically a baby sister. Not a baby doll, an actual baby. I'm not sure how to explain to a not quite four year old that she is never going to get a baby sister. Even if we were inclined to have another child, which we're not, and even if we could order a girl and not a boy, which we can't, we only have about four weeks until her birthday, not nearly enough time to take care of that request for her. I think we'll be looking for a great new baby doll for her to love and take care of for her birthday. I think she would prefer that in the long run anyway. I don't think she would appreiciate the amount of time a new baby would take away from her.
