My sister Richele came over this morning. She is pregnant and her belly has decided to show it. We were talking to the kids about it as they were eating lunch and explaining that she has a baby growing in her tummy. Alex piped up and said, "Your tummy is big Shell-Bell!". I'm sure Richele appreciated that!
So, obviously Samantha had babies on the brain because as I was putting her to nap we had this conversation:
Samantha: "Mom, are you going to have a baby?"
Me: (Well, my brain was screaming NO WAY IN HELL AM I GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER CHILD), but this is what I really said, "No sweetie, mommy isn't going to have another baby."
Samantha: "Why not? You could have a baby in your belly."
Me: "No baby, mommy can't have babies in her belly because I'm missing something."
Samantha: "What are you missing?"
Me: "I'm missing something called a uterus which is where the babies lives inside the mommy and grows big. I don't have one so I can't have any babies in my tummy."
Samantha: "Well, maybe you could borrow Richele's!"
Me: "Um, no that's not really how it works." (Fighting back the laughter)
Samantha: "Maybe you could pray to get one!" (Now I'm kinda touched!)
Me: "That is a really good idea babe, but I already have you and Alex and my family is perfect so I think we'll just leave it like it is!"
These kids amaze me every day with the things they come up with!! And now that you all have learned more about me and my anatomy I'm sure you'll be able to go about your day in peace!!! You're welcome!!!

Uterus is definitely not a part of my 4 year old's vocabulary, but Samantha is so sweet! If only it could be prayed for!
What a sweet little girl! I didn't know anything about you not being able to have kids and not having a uterus. Crazy! I am glad that you have been able to adopt and gain your family that way. I know what you mean about having enough kids though-I feel that way pretty much every day! :) The picture below of you and Kami is great-you two look so much alike!
That is awesome!!! I love the stuff kids say. Give Samantha a gold star for me!!
so I take it if you have taught Mantha uterus, I can teach her vagina and scrotum next time I see her??? that would be fun
I'm with Kami...hook up ball sack, rectum, and nipples for next time...alright? Seriously, that girl is hilarious (and too smart for her own good)!
What a little sweetheart...and what a blessing those two kids are to you guys!!!
