Herkomer

We told the kids that there is another baby on the way, and got a little bit of an interesting reaction out of Christopher....
"But, we already have baby Robbie. We don't need another one." Then he came up with an idea.
"We'll give the baby to Mrs. Astin. She doesn't have a baby. It will make her so happy! She can feed it, and change it, and put it to bed." So we told Mrs. Astin this. She was quite amused, of course. She tried to explain that to Christopher that he really should keep the baby.
However, just the other day, he saw her and said, "Mrs. Astin, have you decided about Herkomer?"
She said she had not.
He replied, "Well, you better hurry up. We're running out of time!"
