Where Do Babies Come From?

We thought the boys were a little young for this conversation and in all honesty they never really asked where babies come from. After reading “Llama llama mad at Mama” and “Llama, llama Red Pajama” to the preschool class today we hopped in the car to start our busy afternoon. Dee had to pee, so we made a quick stop at Liberty Ridge (where she used to work) so she could use the facilities. While we were there, we saw her old co-workers and Rebecca who is pregnant. She chatted with the boys for a bit and they were amazed at her belly and when she said a baby was in it. They TOTALLY didn’t get it, and wondered how it got in her belly. Carlos asked “Did you eat the baby?” Favorite line of the day by far.

We had a great lunch with Ruth, Levi’s old social worker. It was cool to catch up, I mean, we used to see her once a month for 2 years and now it’s pretty rare when we get a chance to see her. Its good to catch up and hear about her family. We miss seeing her!

Carlos has speech today and apparently did really well. He’s working with Julia at this point, yippee, and he did “st” and “g” sounds. That’s new for him. He’s really working hard with his speech and we even catch him saying sounds on his own.

We got the boys pictures done in their pirate costumes. After a long wait they got taken and turned out pretty darn cute. We’ve got some handsome pirates who jump into character at the drop of a hat. Can you say, scurvy dog? Arrrgh.

Ended the day with the Foster Parent Halloween party. The boys won second place in the costume contest (they got 1st last year) and won a gift certificate to Walmart! They did a cookie-walk and ate some Halloween foods. All in all I think they had a good time.

They are crashed now, no fuss at bedtime tonight!
