Sunday, as we walked back to our car from Christmas shopping, Sophia asked me, "Mama, how did I get into your belly?" Now we'd been talking about belly buttons (or in the words of Sandra Boynton, bee-bo). She's amazed by innie (which never seems to end BTW) since she has an outie.
"Mama, how did I get into your belly?" She repeats.
"Um, well . . ." I debated changing the subject or distracting her. "Well, when mommy and daddy love it each other. . .magic happens!"
I know. It's a bit pathetic. But she's 3 right? That's all she needs to know. She seemed happy with my answer. After all, she still believes in fairy godmothers. That reminds of the time she asked my husband if she could have a stepmother. Thank you Disney!
I'm feeling burned out. Last week I did 3 parties and a shopping event. I think the adrenaline from November is dissipating. I have 2 more parties this weekend. They'll be fun, but I'm glad for a break! I'm giving myself 2 weeks off from parties. I was going to say work, but I know I'm be answering emails, phone calls, etc during that time.
I'm doing the last of my Christmas shopping the past couple of days. Ok, I didn't really start until Sunday night. I'm sure I'm not alone in my dilemma, but we have too many toys for Sophia (thanks to Leapfrog and great deals on Amazon)! She really hoped for some fun things from Santa, but they are too hard to get. I promised myself I wouldn't be one of those parents that ran all over town trying to find the exact gift she wanted.
I finally figured out what to give hubby for his birthday, which is only a few days before Christmas. I can't say what it is, since he reads my blog. (Hi!) Sophia wants to bake him a cake with black frosting. She thinks it's his favorite color. Probably because he wears it a lot.
So next week we're baking cookies for Santa and making black frosting. I should take a pic and send it in to Cake Wrecks. What are you doing?

My partner's bday is tomorrow, but he's in CA all this week for work. So, I snuck a wrapped CD into his suitcase as a surprise, but we need to do a proper birthday celebration for him when he gets back (it's a 10's # this year). Other than that? Trying to clean and decorate house and get ready for Christmas while working FT and single parenting has been fun.
lol!! I have been getting very complex questions about babies in bellies for a few months now -- it's exhausting trying to figure out what will satisfy her but be appropriate!! You did a good job!! (Wait til she starts asking for details on just how she got OUT....)
Sarah, you mean I can't just say she came out of my vagina?
