A few months ago we went to visit a good friend of mine who was pregnant at the time. Ben and I informed Ava that our friend had a baby in her tummy. Ava asked other questions and we told Ava the baby would come out soon just like how Ava used to be in mommy’s tummy but is now growing up to be a big girl.
This concept has really stuck with Ava where she thinks all girls have a baby in their tummy. The only trouble with this is Ava thinks all girls have a baby in their tummy and has caught Grandma Rita off guard when she told Grandma Rita “Aunt Jenny has a baby in her tummy.” Quickly, I let Grandma Rita know Ava thinks all girls have a baby in their tummy including Ava, myself as-well-as Grandma Rita.
I see this could get us in trouble because we’ve told Ava “Daddy put a baby in mommy’s tummy.” Now, Ava sometimes says, “I have a baby in my tummy. It’s daddy’s.”
This morning while sitting around the table Ava reminded me of an incident yesterday when she said, “Mommy, I have a baby in my tummy....AND a dime!” Yes, Ava swallowed a dime yesterday (from which she had arranged to make a flower), which further reminds me that Ben and I get the *ahum* pleasure of “digging for gold” for the next few days.
