Maybe It Was Something I Ate

My perceptive little Faith one day noticed that my tummy was getting bigger.

She said: "Mom! I can see where the baby is growing in your tummy!.....How did it get in there? Did you eat it?"

Me: "Uhhhh, well............"

Faith: "And how are you going to get it out?....Are you going to throw it up?"

As I started to explain in 5 year-old terms, she got distracted by the idea that the baby would be here in the fall and to my relief she wanted to teach me a song she'd learned in preschool about fall. Then I kept the distractions coming with a jumping jacks challenge and the promises of candy if she ate her lunch.
