BITBs inheritance

"So Jackson is really getting it now. He is starting to fully understand that the baby in my belly will eventually join us in this world. Luckily not to the extent that we have had to do a 'where do babies come from' talk. Jackson does think that BITB will just pop out of my tummy ('can we get him out now?' -- Jackson also uses the masculine pronouns way more than the feminine) to join us and I am okay with this line of thought for now.

This morning Jackson said two different things that really let me know he understood:
1. While I was getting dressed Jackson thought my top was too tight for my belly. 'Don't hurt baby!' he admonished me.
2. When getting into his high chair to sit at the table for breakfast Jackson looked to me and stated, 'when the baby in your belly comes he'll get to sit here and I'll get a big boy chair.'

Ah, I fell in love with my kid all over again for his concern and perception of the baby situation. He also mentioned that he can't do raspberries on my belly because it might hurt baby, but I replied that baby in the belly likes them as long as they're gentle.

So I think we are in the clear for some of Jackson's items to get handed down to BITB without much of a fuss from our first born. Hopefully he'll continue to sound happy about passing off his "baby" things once BITB has arrived."
