Yep. He asked. And I so carefully ignored the question.
It’s been a while since I’ve shared some of the unique/funny
things that Gianni says. But this one… I
had to share.
I was getting G ready for bed last night when he started
asking me about ‘belly’s’. Why people
have them and if they have them, are there babies in them. I explained body shapes, importance of eating
well and exercise, as well as pointing out that I had 2 babies which left me with
a lil pooch. I was trying to make
him understand that it’s ok and everyone is shaped differently. That’s when he asked – “Mommy? Where do
babies come from?”…
I looked away and continued to pull his covers down in
preparation for bedtime. I had to look
away because I was a) laughing and b) trying to formulate a response. Although I promised myself I’d be truthful
with him when this topic came up, I chose to ignore his question last
night. He is only 4.
He didn’t seem to notice that I ignored his question (thank God) and went on to say – “Santa Bear (his favorite stuffed animal) has a baby
in his belly and it’s going to hatch tomorrow.”.
And this is why I chose to ignore his question. He is only 4 J
God do I love him…
