Where Babies Come From
After explaining to Sadie that our next door neighbor is about to have a new baby, we had the following conversation.
Mommy: Sadie, you used to be in mommy's belly. God put you in my belly and you were very little. You kept growing bigger and bigger until one day you came out.She went on to explain how her other friends booped out of their mommy's bellies and are now growing big just like her.
Sadie: Yeah, I booped out.
Mommy: You what?
Sadie: I booped out of your belly.
Mommy: You pooped out?
Sadie: No, I booped out. And Norah was in Daddy's belly and booped out of him.
It took a while to sort this all out.
Turns out her daddy told her her birth story on her birthday last week wherein he said that "God put a tiny baby in mommy's belly and she grew bigger and bigger and then bloop, you came out of mommy's belly..."
Hilarious I tell you. I love how she is able to process and retain more difficult concepts and apply them to other situations (like our friend's pregnancies and kids). It is amazing to watch how her little mind works in such sweet, innocent ways. Love this kid. Read more...
