funny things my child has said in the past month.

so with a new baby on the way, little miss of course has questions about all thats going on. being only 4 and not really understanding it adds to it. which makes for some very funny questions and stories. these have really cracked me up so i wanted to make sure i got them down so that we can laugh about them when she gets older :)

so she likes to ask about food i am eating and if the baby likes it. so we were in the grocery store picking out gold fish and she asked me " does your baby like goldfish?" i replied "no, he doesnt, because mommy doesnt like them." she accepted that answer and we went on. a few days later we were eating dinner at home and she asked me "does your baby like spicy food?" and i said "yes, he likes spicy food, because mommy likes spicy food." another day she asked me "does your baby like beer?" as i was laughing i replied "no, because he's never gotten to try beer, mommy cant drink beer when she has a baby in her belly." and again she accepted the answer.

so a few nights later when we are putting her to bed and she is asking questions about how the baby is going to get out of my belly, and since i already know i am doing a c-section, i told her the dr. will take the baby out of belly. she didnt really understand and then she said "is he going to crack your belly open?" again laughing i told her thats kind of what it would be like....and then she said "and then you can have beer!!!" what can you do but laugh. she cracks me up! does make me wonder a little though :)

so she seems pretty excited about a baby brother and even though we havent decided on a name, she still tells people his name is marmaduke....we do throw out other names here and there but she always tells people marmaduke. and when she kisses my belly or talks to him she always calls him baby brother. so i was caught off guard one day when she said, but i want a baby sister!! and a few days later penny puppy told us she wanted a baby sister too. now i should say first that little miss likes to say she is going to eat us, or eat people or her animals...but its never in a harmful or sadistic way. so we were driving to the store one night and little miss started talking for penny when penny told me "miss katy (she has very good manners) im going to eat your baby, because little miss wants a baby sister" again, what could we do but laugh. although we did explain to penny that little miss was getting a brother and that we couldnt change that :) penny seemed to accept that pretty well.

and then we were back to how the baby was going to get out of my belly. we were in the car a few days ago and we were talking about it, and i told her the drs would have to cut my belly. she then asked about the knife and if they would use my knife that i take to work with me. so i had to explain that my knife was used for cooking and cutting food and could be dangerous if it were to cut someone. and that the drs. have special knives they use when they operate on people.

so those are some of the conversations we have had in the past month. she never seems to amaze me with the questions she asks and the answers that she will accept. and i wouldnt have it any other way :)
