One of my four year old's favorite things to do is browse through catalogs and circle what she'd like. Not just for herself, but for her brother, her dad, her mom, the cat, and for the dog that we don't have yet. Aside from the toy and pet catalogs, her favorites are the clothing ones.
While flipping through the pages of a new Anthropologie catalog, she 'ooohs' and 'ahhhhs' over the women's dresses. "Mom, you would look so beautiful in this one......Oooooh, I love the flowers on this one...... look, this one would look so nice on you"! I point out one that I think is pretty. She eyes me up and down and matter-of-factly states, "well, that one is a skinny dress".
To illustrate her point, she puts her hand on my belly and adds, "you need to be straight up and down to wear that".
This got my son's attention. He comes over to me and puts one hand on my stomach, and one on my back, gives my daughter an official nod and says, "Yep. She's havin' a baby".
I answer teasingly, "Oh, and what do you think the baby will be"?
He inspects my stomach once again and tells my daughter , "I think we're gettin' a ten year old brother".
