Best Moment of the Week? Well we got family pictures back! Heather and Wade had baby Gage who is perfect! I also have a very funny store. On Memorial day, we were at my sister's house just hanging out on the front porch. Alex (4) and Sassy (real name is Tinlei - 2) just realized there is a baby in my belly. So that of course struck some questions from Alex. Here is how that conversation went:

Alex (talking to his mom): There is a baby in her tummy? And she's gonna spit it out?
Brandi: No. She's gonna POOP it out. 
Alex with a very funny face says: POOP it out?! No she is just gonna spit it out. 
Alex then looks at me and says: Are you gonna poop it out or spit it out?
I said: I'm gonna POOP it out! 
He just looks back at his mom and starts to giggle. And then forgets the conversation ever happened and went about his business. 


Of course while all this was going on Sassy was very intently listening. So it's Sassy's turn to ask questions. She walks over to me and tries lifting my shirt and says "Baby in there?" I said, "Yeah, the baby is in there!" I said "Can you talk to the baby?" and Sassy says very loudly, "HEEYYY BAABBYYY!!!...COOMME OOUUTT!!" After that she kept saying "My Baby" and if you asked her where her baby was she would lift up her shirt and point to her belly. Since that was just so darn cute I had to get her to talk to the baby as much as I could. Of course after so many minutes, she was no longer interested. However, when we went to leave I told her to say by to the baby and she said "BYYEE BABY"!
