Say, what?!

You may recall from a previous post, that I renamed my breasts "mommies". I don't even remember why I did this, but boy am I glad that I did.

My son nursed for a while and even after he was done, he liked to refer to them, talk to them and even (at the most inappropriate times - at daycare) sometime reach for them (almost like it was an ID check to be sure that I was really his mommy). It was much easier to pull him close as he reached for them yelling, "mommies!" versus what would have had me blushing and likely finding a new day care out of sheer embarrassment.

Well, a couple of weeks ago, my husband was out skiing and I was at home with my lil man. We had a great time together. As I am now really showing (feel like I have been showing since I found out I was expecting), I thought it would be fun to have him "kiss the baby", AKA my belly. To me, this protruding belly is impossible to miss - so how could he? When he took no interest, I showed it to him and tried to explain how big mommy's belly was getting because there was a baby in the belly.

Instead of showing any interest, he blurted out (not that I had a big belly, but) ... "BIG Mamas!" I couldn't believe what I had heard. Here the belly had made no impact, but he noticed and commented on my expanding bustline. Now, I am 1,000,000% thrilled that I renamed them "Mamas/Mommies!"

And yes, while my son calls his "mommies" and daddy's "mommies" and even Frank's (the dog's) "mommies" - I would rather correct this when he gets a little older versus take the chance and give him a fun new word right now.

I guess you never really know what little ones will say. :) I can't wait to tell that story to his future finance someday, though, my husband says he will probably be proud of it and I still won't get the last word. :)

What surprising or unexpected things have your little ones said?
