\n<\/strong>The other night I dropped a container of flour on the floor and some spilled out…
\n<\/em>B: What happened?
\nT: I dropped the flour and it spilled. I’ll sweep it up in a minute.
\nB: I’m very disappointed at you.
\nT: What? Why?
\nB: We don’t make messes.
\nT: Wait. But it was an accident.
\nB: I know, but I’m disappointed at you.
\nT: (sad face) If I clean up my mess will you stop being disappointed with me?
\nB: Yes, I will.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>B: If you eat and you have a baby in your tummy it will get all dirty with food.
\nT: No, not really.
\nB: But why?
\nT: That’s just not how it works.
\nB: Yes. If you eat it will go down, down to your tummy and just land on the baby.
\nT: Well… no.
\nT: Okay. Imagine a couple of balloons. Your tummy doesn’t just have one area in it. Inside your tummy there’s a balloon called a stomach. And in girls tummies theres another balloon called a Uterus. Can you say that word? Uterus?
\nB: Uterus.
\nT: Okay. So when you eat the food goes to your stomach. But your baby grows inside your uterus. So the food doesn’t actually land on the baby since its in a different area or a different balloon.
\nB: Sometimes when I eat the food just lands on the baby in my tummy.
\nT: Oh, so your baby is growing in your stomach? Not in your uterus?
\nB: NO (in a silly voice, as though I just asked a really dumb question). The food just goes to my uterus and lands on my baby’s shirt.
\nT: Your baby is wearing clothes?
\nB: Yes, she is.
\nT: Never mind.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>B: Get out of here, I’m trying to put my jammies on.
\nT: I’m just coming in to change Spencer.
\nB: But I need privacy.
\nT: I won’t look at you then. I’ll just go over to the crib and change your brother.
\nB: Only boys can see me when I get my jammies on.
\nT: Only boys? Why? Why do you want boys to see you when you put your jammies on?
\nB: So they can say, “Ok. Good.”
\nT: Um..<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>B: I love you
\nT: I love you too!
\nB: No! You don’t. Only I love you.
\nT: Can’t we love each other?
\nB: No.
\nT: Please.
\nB: Okay. Girls can love each other, but boys only love their selves.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>D: I need to remember to slow down when I eat.
\nB: Why?
\nD: Because if I eat too fast I’ll eat too much, and then I’ll get fat.
\nB: Ok. Just eat fast then you can play with me.
\nD: I just said that I need to slow down when I eat.
\nB: I know.
\nD: Do you want me to get fat?
\nB: Yes.
\nD: Why?
\nB: Because you’re a daddy.<\/p>\n
\nT: Yep. Its huge.
\nB: Its a daddy strawberry.
\nT: It is?
\nB: Yea, and its fat too.
\nT: (silent chuckle) Ok, dear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
