telling Casper

fleaWe just had a nearly 1-hour fire drill at work (there was an actual fire! in the server room! fire trucks came!) and as you can imagine I have very little desire to continue with the work day. Happily it was a sunny 80 degrees; I hope I don't have a sunburn.
We went out for dinner last night and had The Talk with Casper about the Armadillo. It went like this:
me and mr. flea: "So in the summer, when you'll be almost 3 years old, there will be a new baby in our family. It's growing in mommy's tummy just like you grew in mommy's tummy before you were born. You're going to be the big sister, and there will be a little brother."
Casper: Beat. "Look at my shoe!"
So, it's hard to gather what's going on in her murky little head. We did go on to have a silly conversation about what the baby's name should be (Arthur? Clifford? Max? Ord? - note for the non-PBS Kids addicts - all male characters on "our shows").
