Replacement Theory

As I was putting the kids to bed tonight Aiden said, "Mama, we got only one baby. How come we have only one baby?"

"Who's the baby you're talking about?" I asked him.

"Dawson. How come we only got one baby?"

"Well," I replied with my standard answer, "that's all God has given us right now." Then I asked him, "Why? Do you want another baby?"

"Yes!" was his enthusiastic reply.

"You do, do you? We'll just have to wait and see what God has in store for us," I told him.

"But Mama, how come God's going to throw Dawson away?"
