Baby ZEve

Tomorrow is Baby Zinger’s birthday!  If anyone is out there reading this blog, Baby Zinger is my brother Geoff’s very first baby.  Geoff’s wife Angela’s maiden name is Zing… thus the nickname.  Little Baby Zinger will be born on the 20th, just like its maternal grandmother and of course, favorite Auntie.

I love that the first time we came home after a Saturday at my parents’ house with Geoff and a pregnant Angela, Jake turns to me and with his typical shoulder shrug and questioning hand gesture asks, “Where Baby Zinger go?”  All the talk of some invisible baby had him a bit perplexed.

Ever since we found out about Baby Z, I’ve been asking Jakey to predict if it’s a boy or a girl.  In eight months, he has never deviated from his answer.  I change up my question, just to make sure he isn’t pulling that old trick where he just says the last choice presented.

“JJ, is Baby Zinger going to be a girl or a boy?”
“A ga-wol.”

“Jakey, is Baby Zinger going to be a boy or a girl?”
“A ga-wol.”
“A ga-wol?”
“No…a Ga-wol.”
“A Ga-wol?”
“No.  A ga-wol.”
“Ohhh, a girl?”
“Yeees, a ga-wol.”

This is my new favorite game.  We both find it hilarious.
