A Sigh of Relief

This afternoon's after school conversation was about our cousins and how there are 4 boys and one girl on each side.  As we were talking about this Cavett asked,  "How do we know if Asher and Alex are boys?"

With a deep breath, I replied, "How do we know anyone is a boy or a girl?"

He responded, "By their hair...."

I kept prodding wondering if we'd need to talk more at this moment... "And..."

Cavett said, "Fingernails,...... make-up, .......and jewelry.

"Oh, OK."  Maybe he and Dad can have a conversation about that on the boys weekend to Grand Saline on Friday....

Bellybutton

We began the morning by singing the Veggie Tales bellybutton song. Cavett showed me where his is and then I told him that that is where he used to be connected to me when he was in my tummy. I opened the door. Uh-oh.

"Mommys can't eat when they have babies in their belly," Cavett said.

"Why not?" I replied.

"The babies will play with their food," said Cavett.

"No, they need to eat for their baby to grow. The baby is in a different part of the belly," I eplained.

"How do babies come out?" he questioned.

Quickly, I replied, "We will talk about this when Daddy gets home."

"Is Daddy the baby-getting-out-expert?" he asked.

"Uh, yes as a matter of fact, he is...." And so it begins.
