The other day before our 20 week ultrasound, Saray and I had a bit of a chat. It was mostly a series of questions asked by me and answered by my 3.5 year old, Saray.
Mom: "How does a baby get into a Mommy's tummy?"
Saray: "God puts it there." (Why of course!)
Mom: "How does God choose which baby to put in Mommy's tummy?"
Saray: He goes to the babies store and looks around to see which baby will go best with Josh, Grayson and me."
Mom: How does a baby get its food in Mommy's tummy?"
Saray: "You (Mommy) take a bite and then the baby eats it, like a baby bird."
Mom: "How does the baby get bigger in Mommy's tummy?"
Saray: "It just grows."
Mom: "Is the baby in my tummy a sister or a brother?
Saray: "It's my baby sister, you know." (She knew all along, and even told us so in a-matter-fact kind of way, every single time we'd ask.)
Mom: Who will teach this baby how to walk & talk?"
Saray: "Me, of course! I can't wait to teach her how to walk at the hospital." Oh dear...
And that about sums up that little conversation.
-----------------
I love conversations with my kids, they make me laugh and they make me think, they challenge my faith to be more child-like, simple and steadfast. God teach me how to be more like my children ...teach me Lord to be steadfast and unmovable when I know I've heard your voice. Teach me to how be more carefree, lighthearted and to laugh with ease.
