Words of Kaleb

*****
Tonight during dinner, when Charles asked Kaleb if he was full, Kaleb responded with:

(in his girliest voice, while pretending to hold a round belly) "I'm a flat girl... with a baby in my tummy."

(I should explain, that flat really means fat... but I have kind of fostered that new term, because I am afraid of the frequent use the kids will give to it... and where... and when.)

Jaden laughed and said, "You're not a girl, you're a boy!"

"Yes I am, or I not have a baby in my tummy. Boys don't have babies in their tummies, only girls. Flat girls."

Then he kept saying over and over, in his high-pitched girly voice, "I'm a flat girl with a baby in my tummy."

Hey, if "flat" = pregnant, than maybe I have a little bit less of an awkward talk ahead of me. But Charles told me that this conversation was blog-worthy... so here it is.

Later that night, after putting the boys to bed, Kaleb came back downstairs and sat with me. I usually send him right back up to bed, but this time I gave in. We ate chips and salsa, pumpkin bread, watch TV... (what can I say... these are his sweetest moments... and we rarely have one on one time) As we were sitting on the couch he looked at me and said...

Mommy, I love you
I love you too!
Sometimes I say I don't like you.
Yeah...
It's cuz I'm angry
Yeah...
But I love you now.
