Conversations With My 3 Year Old...

Tonight M and I snuggled up to read her stories before bed and she elbowed me in the stomach and said:

M:  I'm going to squish the baby.

Me:  I don't have a baby in my tummy anymore.

M:  Why not?

Me:  Because she got big enough to come out.  You don't really want her in my tummy anymore do you?

M:  No.  Well, I'm going to squish the baby in MY tummy.

Me (laughing):  You don't have a baby in there.

M:  Why not?

Me:  Your tummy isn't big enough for a baby and you are not old enough to have a baby in there.

M (very seriously):  I have to be three before I can be old enough.

Me:   Ummm....no.  You need to be as old as Mommy.

M:  Oh!  That's a lot of naps.

Me:  Yep.  You will have to take a lot of naps before you will be as old as Mommy.  

I LOVE HER (and her 3 year old logic)!!!!
