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.

Hey Em,

Let me know when you do and hopefully you can help me out. I even struggle discussing the mating toads in the backyard. We like to say they are giving piggy-back rides. Oh the joys!
