Jumping Back In (Inquiring Minds Want to Know!)

Well, I haven't blogged since my daughter was 2 and since she turned 3 this past November, I am clearly behind.  And since my last blog was dedicated entirely to my daughter, I decided it was time to expand my horizons a bit.  I now have a son to add to the mix so I have started this page as an attempt to keep everyone up to speed on the two children (and me and my husband, of course).

I have lots to share even just since Devin was born a month ago, but since I'm pressed for time, I thought I would start with just this quick little recap of a fantastic conversation that took place last Friday morning.  Since Devin is only a month old and still seems to have his days and nights confused, I am a bit of a hot mess every morning, but I still need to get Abbie to school, so I manage to drag myself out of bed each morning.  I had already gotten Abbie dressed and was trying to get Devin changed and ready to go.  He usually decides he is starving just as I'm ready to walk out the door, so it is definitely chaotic.  I have Devin laid out on our bed and the conversation went a little something like this...

Abbie:     Mommy, what are those?
Me:        Those are Devin's nipples.
Abbie:     Nipples.  Are those boo-boo's?
Me:        No, they are just nipples. Everyone has them.
Abbie:    (Lifting her shirt and inspecting herself) Those are nipples?
Me:        Yup.
Abbie:    Let me see your nipples.
Me:       (Rolling my eyes because suddenly Michael has decided to come back into the bedroom)
             Um, not right now. We need to hurry up and leave for school.
Abbie:    Mommy, what is that?
Me:       (Silently saying a short little prayer to God) That is Devin's penis.
Abbie:   A penis. Um...(she then begins to pull her shorts down)
Me:      Nononono. You don't have a penis. Only boys have penises. You and I don't have one.

And at this point I realize that Michael is no where to be seen.  I start looking around and just see his tail sticking up on the other side of the bed. 

Me:         Um, hello? I notice you aren't participating in this conversation.
Michael:   I have to, um...well, I need to...I am tying my shoes!
Me:         Ha! Sure is taking you a long time!
Michael:  Yeah, well...I need to tie my shoes.

Looks like I am in for many more fun questions from my daughter and will be getting absolutely NO help from my husband!!! Oh well, I love him anyway.
