Loose Tooth

Colleen has a loose tooth! I've been slow to realize that, as my youngest child, she'll have all the last "firsts" of the family. *sniff*

What the kids know

Friends of friends of ours just had a baby, 8 lbs., 9 oz., and as Cate noted, that's a pretty big baby.

Colleen overhears the conversation and says, "that's no big deal, it's just a little baby." I told her that was pretty big for a baby.

To try to drive home the point of what it must be like (since I don't know, obviously) to carry that big a baby inside you, I decide to teach Colleen a lesson. I ask her, "do you know where the baby comes from?"

Colleen answers, in a sing-song voice, "Uterus!"

I hope all of her children are at least eight and a half pounds.
