Man, Are We Ever In For It
At-man has been a bit baby obsessed lately. This comes as no surprise. He is a great big brother, very protective of Em. I’m not saying he doesn’t fight with him 700 times a day, just that he never fails to impress me with how much he displays his brotherly love. When D or I take him to the grocery store alone, he insists we get Em a cookie or a balloon to bring home. When I pick a movie to rent At-man wants to make sure it won’t frighten Em. A couple of times I have woken up in the middle of the night to catch him trying to help Em find his blankie, or guide him into our room to get in the big bed and snuggle.
He has a million questions about the new baby. Last night when I got home from work I told him I had a doctors appointment at lunch and the doctor had taken some new pictures of the baby. He came over to look. “Why can’t I see what she’s wearing?” Hmmm. “Babies don’t wear clother inside mommies tummys just like you don’t wear clothes in the tub.” “So you can just see her penis?” “She doesn’t have a penis, she’s a girl.” His eyes grew about 5 times their original size. And with that, he sped off to ponder what horribly uncomfortable question to ask next.
LOL!! Kids are so funny how they see the world.

HOLY CRAP ANNA! How old is your baby? Tell me having a girl isn’t so scary, I’m a little nervous other than the shoes. I am WAY looking forward to the shoes.

When I had my third little boy, I was changing his diaper the day we brought him home and my oldest son said to me “Mom! That’s not my sister, that baby has a penis!”
I told him he had a brother and not a sister, to which he told me to take it back to the baby store in the hospital and tell them he wanted a sister because he already had a brother.
the wonderment of a child’s mind.
