Do you like music?

"Jackson and BITB have conversations.

Jackson talks to my belly and I, acting in BITBs place, respond to him in the best little-sibling-responding-to-a-beloved-big-brother way (luckily for me I have a big brother and know how the admiration is to go). There have been pretty funny ones and sweet ones, and thankfully no rivalry ones.

This past Sunday, Ross was playing music with Lance and their new band. Jackson was explaining this to BITB and said that he too likes to play music with Daddy. "Do you like music, baby? When you're bigger you can play music with Daddy, too."

I love that Jackson is so willing to share the things that are special to him, like playing music with Ross, with this child even before s/he arrives. And I get a big kick out of that fact that Jackson will call himself a big brother already. He's getting there, but I think he'll grasp the concept whole-heartedly once BITB arrives. I hope so . . ."
