I Knew It Was Coming

So, the questions are starting, yes, the questions about babies. While we were reading a book, there was a farmer/daddy with a baby in the garden.

A-Mommy, farmers don't have babies, they can't be Daddies.

M-Ashton, anyone can have a baby. Some farmers are Daddies too.

A-Why does everyone just keep having babies.

M-Not everyone keeps having babies, Mommy is not having any more babies.

A-How do people stop having babies, do they just leave them in their tummies?

M-Well, they just decide that they are done and they don't have anymore.(nice Hol, this is really helping him understand)

A- How do they have them?

M- When a Mommy and Daddy love each other they sometimes choose to make a baby.
(I'm thinking now, why the heck did I say this, how will I answer the "make" part of the conversation?)

A-Okay, can you read me another story now?

Mommy is now thanking God for this quick change of conversation.

The Moon

While driving home from Grandma's house last week, Ashton was staring up at the moon from the van and asked, "Mom, how can the moon go so fast that it can keep up with our van?"

Oh, the beauty of childhood wonder and the perfect opportunity for teaching. I love every ounce of it.

Sweet Dreams.
