That's so cute. My son was 3 years old when I was pregnant with my twins, and he wanted nothing to do with the pregnancy whatsoever. I mean, he would ask "when are they coming out?" but that's about it. I don't know if that was a boy thing or not. *lol*
please have all the pity on me all you want...but continue to tell stories like KC did....I am selfish...and I missed all those experiences.
you know, once i found out i was pregnant, i bought a picture book for about a dollar that shows the development of your baby in the womb, and i've been showing in to my daughter. when i put lotion on my belly to help with the itching and stretch marks, she insists on doing it for me, "rubbing the baby belly." which, she can't pronouce her ell's, so it comes out "rubbing the baby body." once i find out the sex, kai's going to have a field day talking to the baby. she's been very maternal from the get-go. i think it's because i practiced attachment parenting to the extent possible with such an independent baby.
My son felt more threatened by my pregnancy. He had been wanting a new brother or sister, but when he found that he was getting BOTH, he wasn't too happy. He didn't like the idea of two someone elses taking up his mama's attention. We had a rough time with him when they were first born. But now? He totally adores them. Sure, they fight at times, but for the most part, he's very close to them. I must say that he one very awesome big brother! He's anxiously waiting for them to wake up from their naps at the moment. *lol*
Maggie, I love the "I smell bacon". I'll have to teach Dakota that one. I started to teach him "Off the pigs" but DH doesn't think that's a very pacifist stand. I really like the "Gonuts" because it sounds so much like "Gonads" which we know cops don't have much of. (Oh my, am I letting too much of my personal feelings show here?) Anyway, Dakota is at such a fun age right now. I just love all the cute things he's learning to say. The other day we were in a restuarant and he jump down and put his arms around me and said, "I love you mommy." Three waitresses were crying it was so sweet. Kathi
I think I said something like that to my mother once. And now that you say it, it makes me feel so sorry, that I ever said something like that to my mother. But I can tell you, I didn't think a lot when I said that, and got the true meaning of it just later. I don't know how old your kid is, but chances are big, that this was not really thought through, probably just said with no thought at all.
aw I love those stories with kids learning about their brothers and sisters in the womb. Apparently when my gran was pregnant with my mum, my uncle was told that 'mummy is getting bigger because daddy planted a seed that is going to grow into a new baby sister' and my uncle looked all confused and said "but mummy, how dya know it won't grow into a banana?" awww,lol. Also, when I was maybe 2 and a half, I was told that I would be getting a new baby sister..my mum asked if I had any suggestions of what to call her...apparently I was really keen on the name Parsley Wardrobe..
Ouch. I don't think I ever said that to my parents. Oh sure, at times, I felt like I hated them, but I never said it, and definitely never wished they were dead. Boy, if my kids ever say that to me, it will break my heart. But I'm not naive enough to think that they would never say it as they get older. I just hope that they don't.
I picked Ryvre up from sunday school one morning (about a month ago) and his teacher looked at me and said "i have to ask, are you having another baby?" "Yes..." She smiled and said "We wondered, because we were reading a story today about a baby, and Ryvre said 'There's a baby in my mommy's belly, and when it gets bigger, it will come out BETWEEN HER LEGS!" lol! And as she was telling it, of course, he had to demonstrate "Yeah, like this!" and he made a motion with his hand like it was a baby shooting out of his "vagina." All i could do was laugh and say "well, at least there's no confusion about the whole process." No stork stories for my kids
There's a series of kids' books and each one is called "Little Miss" something. "Little Miss Ditzy". "Little Miss Lucky". On the back of each book is a list of all the other books in the series. The other night my daughter was reading the list, "Little Miss Busy, Little Miss Quick, Little Miss Wise, Little Miss....Titty?" I gave her a funny look. She said, "What? That's what it says, really! Titty!" "Spell it." I said. "t...i...d...y" "That spells TIDY." I told her. Oh, the kids thought that was hilarious.
ROFLMAO In my head, is it okay if I picture the teacher as the Church Lady from Saturday Night Live, like 20 years ago? That's hilarious.
LOL! Kids are funny! We were at Cracker Barrel the other day and my mom bought Sydney an opposum stuffed animal (yeah, she likes weird stuff ). We went to the bathroom and Mom was out with Syd changing Bella's diaper and I was in a stall. The bathroom was full of ladies, some waiting in line. Sydney is trying to choose a name for her new possum and she is saying silly names like Opie and then she bursts out in a VERY loud voice, "Pussy!". I started cracking up and I could hear my mom saying "Possy? You are naming him Possy?". Sydney then corrects my mom and kept yelling out "Pussy, pussy". I hid in the stall until Mom finally got her to change the subject......
