(Scarlette at 6 weeks getting CPT. So not a fan! My beautiful, brave little girl.)
I'm very close to my best friend's two little girls, ages 2 and 4. During my pregnancy they were very into knowing everything about my baby. How big was the baby? When was the baby coming? What would we call the baby?
Every Wednesday Tiffani and I would pick them up from school and Maier would lift my shirt, put her hands on my belly and say "Awww, Kayla your baby is the cutest baby I ever saw!" She would often ask about when she would get to play with the baby and we would explain to her that it wasn't time for the baby to come yet. So she also had taken to holding my belly and looking up at me to ask "The baby's not coming out yet, right? The baby stays in a little longer?"
I remember that when Jeff called to let Tiff know I'd had the baby, I started crying and asking "How will they explain this to Maier?"
Tiff says the girls love to look at Scarlette's pictures and watch her videos. "Look at that tiny little baby" they'll say. They've taken to naming all of their baby dolls Scarlette, she tells me. And to playing a game called Baby Scarlette In The Hospital.
She said that this week she rounded the corner and overheard them playing a new game, one that went like this: "Okay, I'm the mommy and you're the doctor giving me the medicine to keep my baby from coming out too soon"
Is that not one of the most precious things you've ever heard?
