#43 Knock Knock

Ok, this one actually happened a few months ago, I just keep forgetting to put it up. And this may be one where the phrase "you woulda had to been there" may apply. Mainly because it was a conversation between Brecken and her little cousin, Jackson, whose voice alone is so cute you could record it and sell it (but you can't quite capture it just through writing).

Brecken: Jackson do you wanna hear a joke.

Jackson: MmmHmmm.

Brecken: Knock Knock.

Jackson: Whooth der?

Brecken: Microwave.

Jackson: Microwave who?

Brecken: Microwave Fridge.

Both: BAHAHAHAHAA!!!!!! HAHAHA!!!!!HAHAHA!!!

Jackson: (through much laughter) Now YATS a YOKE!!!

#42 Baby in Two Days

Brecken: I am so excited for the baby in your tummy to come!!

Me: Yep, but it's gonna take a while.

Brecken: How long?

Me: Well, six more months.

Brecken: (excitedly) That's not long at all!!

Me: Well, one month is thirty days...

Brecken: (concerned now) How long is six months??

Me: Well, six months is about 180 days.

Brecken: That's a long time!!!

Me: Well it takes a long time for the baby to grow big enough (cut off)

Brecken: (very urgently) Can I say a prayer???

Me: (when would I ever say no to that, really) Sure.

Brecken: Dear Heavenly Father, thankful for this day. Please bless the baby to grow fast. Please help it to grow big enough in two days. (and then she closed her prayer)

Aren't you so excited?? The baby is going to be here in two days!!!!!!

You know, that last few weeks of pregnancy I really wish it worked like that... but for now... I'm glad it's not up to the whim of a four year old.

#41 Big Belly

Me: Brecken, guess what! Mommy and daddy are gonna have another baby. There's a baby in my tummy.

(now you have to realize... this is day one of finding out... you know, when you look exactly the same as you did before there was any baby news)

Brecken: (stares at my tummy) No you're not. (continues staring) Oh wait. Yes you are. I can see the big bump in your tummy.

Nope. That's just the stuff that always hangs over the jeans a bit... ah, thanks Breck.

Oh and then one week later

Brecken: (again staring at my stomache) Wow, mommy. The baby in your tummy is getting really big!

Nope again. That was just the sausage, eggs, pancakes, fruit, drink etc. etc. I had for breakfast. Yep it was good.
