Birth Stories


Today's assignment:

Ellie's teacher had her baby this past week (one month early) and Ellie's been fixated on pregnancy and hospitals.

Mommy do you benember when I was born - when Nicole did that dance to"Who Let The Dogs Out?"

Yes, I remember.
(she remembers this is on the video camera after movies of her as a baby)

And do you benember my whole family came to see me at the hopsi-bal?

I do.

And then Daddy brought books for me in my Dora Be-Spora Backpack so I wouldn't be bored-ed?

And there was that time she asked me if there was a baby in my fat tummy and when I told her no she said, (and I quote) "Dain-it, I reawy want to play wiff a baby sister."

She asked me how the she got in my tummy and before I answered, I asked her what she thought. With eyebrows raised, she suggests, "Um, you swallowed an egg from the fridgerator?"

Here are some past theories of hers about how she came to be here:

Well, we were in pieces and Jesus put us together and then told us which house we were going to.

(and to the neighbor) Jesus drove us here in His big car (meaning a bus) down the mountain
