Tonight in the car we were talking about our upcoming move (we won’t find our where we’re going until March 15), and discussing what we were going to take, sell, give away, etc. A lot of people have given us baby items the last couple years, and one couple kind of needs a few things back (because they apparently weren’t done reproducing, to their surprise and delight). Squiggles was in the backseat listening. Most of her toys were gifts, and we try to make a point of telling her who gave her what, so we have a lot of conversations about gifting. Suddenly she piped up.
Amelia: Mommy, who gave you your cute little Amelia?
Me: You mean who gave me you?
Amelia: Yes. Who gave me to you?
Me: Well, Daddy and I made you and you grew inside my belly.
Amelia: You MADE me?
Me: Yes, just like we made Lily. You grew inside my belly.
Amelia: Did you make my eyes?
Me: Yes, Daddy and I made your eyes and hands and piggy toes.
Amelia: And I was so sad in your belly.
Me: Why were you sad?
Amelia: Because I wanted to get out of your belly.
Me: Why did you want to get out of my belly?
Amelia: Because I wanted to see my mommy and ride in my polka-dot carseat.
Me: Yes, well, it is fun to ride in your carseat…
Amelia: Mommy, did you make my carseat and it was in your belly, too?
Me: No, we just bought your carseat from the store.
Amelia: No, DADDY made my carseat in his belly. And you made me and Lily. And Daddy made our car.
And that, folks, is how automotives are born – glad we got that talk over with…

I could use a new car. Do you think you could talk Tim into being a surrogate?
So cute!!! That little girl is such a smarty!
Oh, that is good! Thanks for making me laugh!
Uh, what do you have to do for him to gestate a truck. Is there a special diet or something? Is he busy for the next nine months? Is there a wait list? I only need a small truck. And I promise I'll make a good home for her. Let me know.
The possibility of things made in belly's is endless. Can you make cupcakes in your belly?
Very cute and funny!!
I love that she referred to herself as "your cute little Amelia." Could she be any more endearing?!?
Phew! It's always so awkward when you kids ask you where cars come from! It's nice that you got that out of the way early in her life. Hopefully Lily will just ask Amelia in the future to spare you the embarrassment!
She's a smart one!
I always liked the one where Heavenly Father sent you down on a big slippery slide. Sorry Michael, trucks do not come that way.
She is very endearing!
That definitely explains why cars cost so much. :)
Dang, I'm in tears...That's awesome! =D
