Pluto

Leo and I carried on the following conversation tonight:

Leo: "Daddy, what is the name of the first planet?"
Me: "Mercury."
Leo: "Okay. So first there's the Sun. Then Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto."
Me: "Wow, Leo, you know all your planets."
Leo just smiled, and then said, "Daddy, I've got a great idea. Let's go to Pluto!"
Me: "Well, I don't know, Leo. Its pretty cold on Pluto."
Leo thought a minute, then said, "That's okay, Daddy. I'll bring my sled."

Baby

Leo: When we get a new baby I want to decorate the baby room.
Me: Leo, what baby are you talking about?
Leo: You know, the new baby.
Me: Okay. But we don't have another room for a baby.
Leo: Then I'll share my room with the baby.
Me: Okay. Well, are we going to have a boy or a girl?
Leo: What daddy?
Me: I guess I'm asking you if you would rather have a baby sister or a baby brother.
Leo: The baby is going to be a girl.
Me: Why a girl?
Leo: Because there is only one girl in our family.
Me: And who is that?
Leo: Mommy is a girl.
Me: And what are you going to do with a baby sister?
Leo: I'm going to protect her.
Me: Protect her?
Leo: Yes, like Lady in the movie.
Me: OK Leo.

Idea

The phrase any parent loves to hear: "Hey, I've got a great idea - let's see what happens if we throw this down the stairs."

Leo!!!!
