Where Do Babies Come From?

If you silently listened to my almost 4 year old daughter and her 3 1/2 year old cousin today you just might find out. Since the pregnancy and birth of our son Elijah who is now 4 months old, it's not unusual to see the girls prance around the house with a ball or a baby doll up in their dress.
We prepared them for Elijahs birth by letting them watch their own birth videos and the birth videos of syblings, and even a few natural birth attended by midwife videos. Well they absorbed and are now acting it out.
Above pictured, Madilyn is catching Gabriellas baby. The conversation went something like this.... Gabi sweetheart would you rub my feet and get some water Madilyn is your baby coming Gabi yes yes hurry the babys coming Madilyn (now acting as the midwife instead of husband) *( they have great imaginations) let me help you. She proceeds to pull the baby from under the dress. It cracks me up. So cute. Don't be surprised if I post pics of them nursing the dolls......they do that too. Such good little mommies.
