Milk

Legend is watching a kids' show about animals.

Legend - "Mommy! That baby cow is drinking from his mommy's bum!"
Me - "He is drinking milk from his mommy's teats. Lot's of animals do that. The mommy makes milk in her body and feeds it to her baby; even humans do that. It is the best food for babies."
Legend - "Only babies? Not boys, like Legend."
Me - "That's right. Only babies."


3 days later...

Legend and I are snuggling on the couch before bed time.
He abruptly jumps off the couch and lifts up his shirt to show his chest.
Legend - "Mommy, don't you want to drink milk from my boobies?"

We're learning.

Big Scary Guy

Legend, Cody and I are at the pool on Thanksgiving Monday, so it is a little busier than normal. We are happily swimming around and around the river run.

A large, bald, bearded, tattooed man and Legend nearly collide.
Cody - "Watch out, Legend."

The man jokes - "Watch out for the big, scary guy!"
Legend is offended - "I'm not a scary guy! I'm a happy guy!"

I don't think the man realized that his own description (large, bald, bearded, and tattooed) easily matches Legend's own completely not scary daddy. Of course Legend wouldn't assume the man was calling himself scary!

New Baby

I got to hold a friend's new baby at a play group this morning.  After a few minutes, Legend noticed me with the baby, abandoned his ride-on car and raced toward me with a big smile on his face.

Legend - "The baby! The baby! I wanna look at it? Please?"
I kneel down to show him the baby.

Legend is beside himself with excitement - "Wow! That baby come out your belly, Mommy?"
Me - "Haha! No, this is my friend's baby. Our baby is still in my belly."
Legend looks at my belly as if to confirm, then looks slightly disappointed - "Oh okay. It looks like your baby."  Honest mistake.

Me - "Our baby will come out soon. 9 more weeks or so."
Legend accepts this and takes off to the climbing equipment.

It is nice to know he is excited for baby's arrival!
