“How did the baby get in your belly?”
September 3, 2009This straight from Sara:
Today I got the question I’d been anticipating and pondering for quite some time: “Mommy, how did the baby get in your belly?”
I asked Besh if he knew how you could take a seed, plant it in the ground, give it food and water and it would grow into a flower? He said yes. I then told him that Mommies have seeds inside their bellies. I said that when a Mommy and Daddy decide it’s time to have a baby, the seed inside the Mommy then grows into a baby. I told him that the seeds inside Mommies were called eggs.
He thought about it for a while. Then, we told Daddy on the phone about our conversation (as he laughed hysterically). At which point, Besh got an inspired look on his face and said, “Hey! Maybe we can put an apple seed in Mommy’s belly and grow an apple!”
