Last night while bathing Lilly, she "washed" her tummy and told me, "Have baby in my tummy. I be big sister." It took me a second to realize what she said, and then the rest of the evening to figure out how she put those two together (and just how many kinds of wrong that statement is in a creepy back-woods way).
We've been talking to her about a baby joining our family someday and how she will be a big sister, but never in the conversation is there anything about babies in tummies. We've had a few pregnant friends, including one at the beach, and I've told her that they have babies growing in their tummies. She also has seen pictures of Bekah pregnant with her and I point out that she was growing in there. So, I guess in 2-year-old logic and imagination, it's not that far of a leap afterall. If babies grow in tummies, why not? Oh my.

I don't know where she got that logic from... My kids just think we go pick them up... oh wait, we do ;)
