Inquisitive minds

Definitely something you notice in a 4-year-old is the type of questions these children begin to ask. The questions have more meaning, and you begin to see that they expect to understand the answers. They aren't asking merely for attention or to make conversation.

And so it was Saturday night that Brendan began our bedtime ritual with this: "Mommy, how does the baby come out?" I'm still trying to think of the best way to answer this one ...

Ha! Good luck!

The night before I was induced and Katie was born, we were sitting at the dinner table with Cooper, who was just shy of 4. "So, Mommy, are you just going to hatch this baby out?" he asked. I don't recall how we responded, other than with lots of laughter. The subject hans't come up since.
