..back to our wedding pictures. Whenever Layla looks at our wedding pictures she wants to know if she was at our "wedding party." Dave and I laugh and tell her no. So today, she looks at the picture, asks me the same question and I, as I do 10,000 times a day, answer her questions on auto pilot. But, my staple answer of, "no you were not at our wedding" didn't suffice. Here's the conversation......"Mommy, was I at your wedding party?"
"No baby, you weren't"
"Where was I?"
Slight pause
"God hadn't given you to us yet."
"Was I with God?"
Slightly longer pause
"Yes, kind-of"
"Was I in heaven?"
"No, you weren't in heaven. You were in God's plans, his thoughts, he just hadn't made you yet."
Very long pause by Layla, I thought I was out of the woods
"So are thoughts in our heads?"
"Yes, Layla, thoughts are in our heads."
"So I was in God's head?"
Mommy is now growing a little weary
"Yes baby."
"So why was your tummy big with Cooper?"
Hmm, she has now lost me, but this isn't unusual
"Layla, what do you mean?"
"Why was I in God's head but Cooper got to be in your tummy?"
"Why was I in God's head but Cooper got to be in your tummy?"

Oh dear. That is all very complicated. I'll tell Oscar to call his Auntie Jen when he has these kinds of questions.
