It Seemed Like a Hallmark Mommy Moment...

Aidan and I were sharing some cuddle mommy time before bed last night when he started to pepper me with questions about the new baby. He even talked to the baby as he patted my belly to say hello.

"How big will the baby get Mommy?" he asked, as he whispered words to my belly.

"A little bigger", I replied.

"And will your belly get bigger too?" He asked.

"My belly will get bigger. Each time the baby grows, my belly will get a little bigger."

He gazed at my belly thoughtfully for a moment or two and then asked with the innocence of a preschooler: "And why does your bottom keep getting bigger too?"

OUCH! I just wish I could have told him that I was about to give birth to a second baby straight out of my big, growing butt, but that just wasn't something I wanted repeated to his preschool teacher this week.

This is the MOST HILARIOUS thing I have ever read! I laughed out loud for long that people actually came into my office to see if I was okay. Tara- you have such a gift for words that I could picture this scenario in my head so perfectly. You ought to write a book!
