Deep thoughts with a preschooler...

So we've continued our nightly discussions...and don't worry we still get questions throughout the day because our boys just want to know everything about the world and how it works and why it works...

No discussions on death and dying this week....yea for light-hearted discussions!  I much prefer questions related to why the grass is green or why flowers bloom!  I can answer those!  After tagging along on a field trip at my son's preschool I learned why there had been so many requests for a new baby sister at our house...we were wondering why there had been so many questions about where babies come from, how they are born, and why do I have a little brother...

Now I know - one of my son's classmates is expecting a little sister any day now so the whole class has been talking about his mommy having a baby soon....got it, no longer worried that I will scar him with the repeated answer of "we're done now and happy with two boys!"

To leave you with one of my favorite preschooler quotes from these discussions..."When you have a girl baby, is that like pooping out a dirty boy name?"  Sometimes, it's so hard to keep a straight face when you know they are being completely sincere in their questions!
