Sophie was laying down next to me last night feeling the baby kicking. She felt a particulary soft part of my stomach (thanks twins...) and said, "Ooh, squishy!"
I wacked her hand away and in my most menacing voice told her, "Don't ever say that again!"
She resumed and ammended her previous observation, "How incredibly hard and firm!" at which I rolled my eyes and made a face.
"You know," I told her, "If you think that's squishy, you should wait till after the baby is born. It's like bread dough after you punch it down."
"Ooh! Can I bury my fist in it?"
"Uh, no. Not unless you want to get kicked out of the house forever." (and I might have just enough vanity to carry that threat out)
Janelle, who witnessed the whole conversation, chimed in thoughtfully, "Yeah, I think it's worth it."

Don't you love how good your children can make you feel!!! Mine are good at that too! Oh but at least your tummy only feels like that for maybe a day or two, since you are so sick you look fab in about a week, wearing your old clothes ect... me 3 months later and still weigh the same! I wonder if my tummy will ever NOT feel like bread dough again?
I love the things your kids say...what a funny family.
Can I just say...They are never allowed near my belly ever...the comparison would kill me!
Very funny though!!
Jackson's not old enough to be giving me his "honest" opinions yet... I don't know if I'll ever be ready for that kind of honesty:).
Out of the mouth of babes...I don't appreciate childrens honesty myself. That is so funny :)
P.S.-what could possibly be squishy on your little tummy?
Allison thank for the comment on my blog. It made my day! This post about how your belly feels after child birth is soooo true...I remember reading a story in readers digest about a wife sitting on the beach with her husband a very fit young lady walked by in a bikini and she said I will never that thin again and the husband said neither will she! ; )
