Very special present
Speaking of potty-training, I had a funny exchange with the girls yesterday afternoon. After telling Avery that she’ll get a special present when she’s completely out of diapers, Zoe asked what we had gotten for her. Recalling that we had done potty-training just weeks before Avery was born, I told her, “A baby sister.” Naturally Zoe thought that was hilarious and said she thought we should get Avery a baby, too. Hearing this, Avery looked up and excitedly asked, “Baby in Mommy’s belly?” I had to laugh – but only after telling Zoe that no, Avery won’t be getting the same present, and explaining to Avery that no, there is no baby in Mommy’s belly.
