Inside the mind of a 6 year old.

I was just looking at babycenter.com - reading up on what changes will occur with my baby next week. Brayden came up and was asking me about the baby and how big it is. I got out a ruler and showed him approximately how long it is now. He asked me, "What parts does the baby still need to grow?" I chuckled to myself and told him that the baby has all it's 'parts' - it has a head, and arms and legs, ears and eyes. I then proceeded to show him a picture on the website of how the baby looks at this stage. He said incredulously, "...and it has a tummy and penis?" I laughed and said that it will only have a penis if it's a boy. Then I reminded him that on Thursday we will find out if it's a girl or boy. I asked him what he thought it would be - thinking he would say girl as he usually does. (Brayden wants a sister and Colby wants a brother) And he looked deep in thought for a moment and said, "I think it'll be a boy now, mom....because look... (and he pointed at the picture on the babycenter website) it doesn't have girl hair!!" He thought the pic on the computer was actually OUR baby. - Not to mention that a girl would come out with long locks of hair!!

That's so funny. Leave it to the kids to say goofy things like that. Karsen told me the other day that he figured out how jesus made our skin....lots and lots of bandaids. :)
