I tell Alexandra -- especially when she wants "up" but i can't deal with her kicking and fidgeting -- that there's a baby in my tummy.
....Silence .....
Blank look on her face ......
Then she says, " 'Gain?" ..
Translation: Say it again mommy because you make absolutely no sense right now.
I try all different approaches..
Alex likes to flip through my cell phone pictures of her -- yes, all 500 of them -- so she came across a sonogram photo of the baby-to-be.
"That?" she asked.
I said, very excitedly, "That's a picture of the new, teeeeny-tiny baby in my tummy!".
After telling her that a few times, Alex started using her high-pitched "baby" voice to say "BABY!" every time she comes across that picture.
Not sure she gets it yet, but i think we've broken ground!
