We have been talking about pregnancies alot in the Brown household. Cameron keeps asking about the baby in my tummy. Can it hear her? What does it like to eat? Is it crying? Did she like it in my tummy? Did Tucker like it in my tummy? and so on. My Grandma's cat is pregnant. We keep talking about the kittens that are due to come out any day. I thought she had a pretty good grasp on things until she asked if our dog, Sammy would have puppies soon. I told her no, because she couldn't have puppies. Of course she asked why so I told her we took her to the doctor and made her so she couldn't ever have them. She got upset and told me she loved puppies and wanted one. I told her maybe someday we could get a new puppy but it wouldn't be from Sammy. End of discussion. This morning, on the way to preschool, she asked me again, "Mommy, did I cry when I was in your belly?" "Mommy, did Tucker cry when he was in your belly." And finally, "Mommy, did SAMMY cry when she was in your belly?" Remember Sammy is the dog. Funny how you think they understand and they really don't have any clue as to how everybody in the family came to be. I never thought I would have to say, "No, Mommies don't have puppies, they just have human babies." Dear Lord......
Today Cameron and the neighbor girl were hula hooping in the front yard. Cameron told her she had received her hula hoop as an Easter gift from Grandma and Papa. The neighbor girl asked how many Grandpas she had. Cameron told her only one Papa and one Grandpa, which would be Matt's and My Dads, respectively. Then she asked her how many Grandma's she had and Cameron told her she had a LOT of Grandma's. The neighbor girl said, "then you should have a lot of Grandpa's too". Cameron answered by saying, well some of my Grandmas just didn't need a Grandpa to live with. Never mind that they all had one at one time, to Cameron, they never existed because they just didn't need them. I like her thought process.
