When my 6-year-old daughter came home from school proudly holding a drawing of our family, I expected the usual stick figures and bright colors. Instead, she pointed to a small boy in the picture and said, “This is my new little brother.” We don’t have another child — and I wasn’t pregnant.

I asked her what she meant, and she simply smiled and said, “He’s coming soon. I feel it.” Her confidence stopped me in my tracks. Kids say strange things, but this felt different — almost like she knew something I didn’t.

Later that evening, I mentioned it to my husband. We laughed at first, but the idea stayed with us. We’ve talked about having another baby for years, always pushing the conversation aside due to work and stress. Somehow, her drawing brought that dream back into focus.

Conclusion:
Her simple drawing reminded us that sometimes children sense the things we adults silence — hope, possibility, and the courage to imagine a bigger family.
