The "question"
So I was asked the infamous question this morning. You know the one. Where do babies come from? We talked about this before in very simple terms. The baby grows in Mommy's tummy, etc... This has always seemed to pacify her. But no-not this morning. Mind you I was a bit groggy. We had gone to a wedding the night before. I had a few glasses a wine. I had only 5 hours of sleep and I was snuggling with Kyla in bed at around 6:30am. Out of the blue she rolled over and asked "Mom, how does the baby get inside the tummy?" Complete shock. I said " You know what I need to research that a little bit so that I make sure and tell you the correct information." Really I just wanted to stall so I could converse with Ted and we could decide together what we were going to say. And actually I was completely caught off guard and didn't really want to discuss that in my current state of drowsiness. But that was not good enough for Kyla. So she said "How come you can't tell me. I know you have done it before!" Then I said "Yes, you're right but I want to google it so I can make sure you get all the right information." We have been googling everything lately so I thought this might work. Thankfully she was satisfied with that and has yet to bring it up again. I will be spending my evening tonight reading online about the right way to tell her. Though I do not dare bring it up until she asks again, I will be prepared when she does!

Hey! So funny. I think that girls are really curious about this stuff at this age.
You might want to look into this book. Mina loves it.
