1. The awesome truth of a new baby coming in August has recently dawned upon Joseph. For a 2.5 year old he had a very sophisticated reaction:
"No, Mom, I'm the baby."
"No, you're big brother."
Looking suspiciously from family member to family member, "I...big...brother?"
"Yes. You are the big brother." Waiting for his reaction.
"I big brother. Baby will cry. I will wear diapers."
Looks like toilet training might be troublesome.
2. Jacob suggested the other day that we name the new baby Jonah. The only thing I could think was: Jonah was in the belly of a whale. Jonah, he is not.
3. Ben has, so far, when asked what he thinks we should name the baby, replied with a 'what's-wrong-with-these-people' look accompanied by: "His name is boy." If he could say sheesh he would.
It was only recently that he branched out to something quite unusual.
A few weeks ago, he told me quite definitively that the baby's name was ... wait for it...
Khalil
Don't ask me.

According to our baby name book, Khalil means "friend". Let's take it as a sign that he's ready to accept his new baby brother with open arms.
Re: toilet training. I am glad your 2.5 year old has similar thoughts about it as mine. At this rate, our 1 year old is going to be trained sooner than him. :)
You have not been watching Veggie tales with your kids lately, have you? Khalil is the little worm that is with Jonah (Larry) in the belly of the Whale, and has also appeared in a couple of other Veggitale movies.
I also liked the quote ... "baby will cry" ... hmmm....
Cary and Sandy, I was wondering if anyone watched enough veggietales to know about Khalil: "my mother was a caterpillar; my father was a worm; but I'm OK with that now ... You are a skilled metalworker..." I should have guessed that you would have known about Khalil.
