WHERE is Daddy's baby???

Oh, my, I had completely forgotten about the update I wanted to make. A few days ago, Irene got bumped in the tummy by the refrigerator door. She didn't really get hurt, but she started saying "My baby hurt...my baby hurt...my baby hurt" over and over. She's conviced that we all have babies, i.e. tummies.
Irene: "Pray for...Daddy's baby. Over there!"
Me: "No, Daddy's baby is in here."
Irene: "NO, Daddy's baby over there!"
Me: "Daddy's baby, Mommy's baby, Irene's baby, all the same baby. In here."
Irene: "No."
Me: *gives up*

That's the great thing about kids - one minute you're convinced that they're the next great genius, then they go and stubbornly cling to some notion so completely absurd you wonder if their mental capacities are up to snuff.

Good thing we all outgrow that, eh?

Yeah, good thing. The absurdity does make for some great entertainment, though.

Hehe that's funny that she thinks everyone has babies in their tummies... I wonder if I ever thought that when my mommy was pregnant. Are you getting Irene all excited about being a big sister?

Ohhh also I hear that Scott and Betsy are getting MARRIED!!!! I AM SO EXCITED FOR THEM!!!! I wish I could go to the wedding sooo badly. Allen was filling me in on all the latest engagements last week. :-) Their wedding is in January, correct?

I'm trying to get Irene excited, but I think so far she doesn't really know what she's excited about. She doesn't know any tiny babies. Thankfully, though, there's a lady in our church who is due next week, so Irene will find out what a tiny baby is.

Yes! Good for Allen. ;-) I'm very excited about the wedding as well (I'm the Matron-of-Honor). :-D
