Kids say...

... the darnedest things.

With just weeks until the arrival of the new addition to our family, Ben has said a few things that really make me stand back, smile, and laugh. It makes me happy to think we will be starting this journey all over again with baby number 2.

As mentioned, with just a few short weeks to go until the new bean arrives the fun stuff is beginning to happen to my ever changing body. Like swelling. Especially to my face and ankles.

Short story. My mom came over last week for a quick visit and the first thing out of her mouth is, "Wow. You look terrible. Your face is really starting to look fat." Now if that doesn't make a pregnant woman feel beautiful I don't know what will. Later, after she leaves, Ben comes to sit down beside me and tells me, "Mommy, you don't look fat. You look good" and gives me a big hug and kiss before he goes off to play.

I'll take what a 4 year old says any day, because you know they always "tell it like they see it."

And earlier as I was folding laundry, unloading the dishwasher, and searching for something to make for dinner I plopped poor ole Ben in front of the boob tube to watch UP. A few short minutes I hear him say, "Mama, that boy asks a bunch of questions like I do."

It made me stop a minute to let out a belly busting laugh.

I love that boy!
