Hannah : "Mom, your tummy looks fat!"
Me (the mom): "Hannah it's not nice to say that to people"
Hannah: "sorry. your tummy looks pregnant."
Me: thanks, that was much better. (turn, and to myself: "it matters what's on the inside, it matters what's on the inside... sniff sniff) darn those kids telling the truth
I'll keep that one tucked away in my pocket to make her laugh when she's just had her third child (i say just as if 8 months is not enough time to loose the baby weight- sigh -it's the "elasticity" though right...that just takes longer and longer with each child. someone please validate my flabby flubby belly. double sigh...)
good thing i didn't have my "daisy duke" shorts on too. that would have been brutal. (no it's not me in the pic , but close...)
NEXT
Lincoln (during his nighttime prayers):blah blah blah... " and mommy's awesome, and Hannah's awesome, and daddy and Lucy are awesome...and I'm awesome...and I can be like Jesus, so we can say the thankthul...amen-seriously awesome
But the ultimate was when I was driving my friends kid Caleb to school this week. We always drive by a cemetery and Hannah was talking about the "grove", and then...
Caleb says: " is that the funeral place?"
Hannah: no
Caleb: "If my mom dies when I am a teenager I'm going to take her skin off and put it in a museum."
Me: "in a museum?"
Caleb: "yea and then I would get a shovel and put it buy her so she can look like one of those people who dig for dinosaurs."
Me: nice
Then when the kids got out of the car, I immediately called his mom and said- just so you know, when you die-Caleb is going to have you taxidermied into a archaeologist...ya know...just so you can be ready for that.

I can't believe the skin and dino thing!
As for the post-baby belly, we're kidding ourselves if we look at say, post-baby olympians and super models and think it's normal to have a flat belly after childbirth.
I'm gaining again... And hence my pants are not fitting at all. Most have safety pins to keep the zippers up. It's not comfortable or pretty. I need to be unashamed and buy some pants that fit.
My baby is one and I still look pregnant. Danged babies.
First off, I'm sure you look fabulous. Second that made me feel like i better get my butt in gear and lose some weight before Emma starts saying stuff like that to me. Because she will.
I haven't had kids and my belly looks like that. I eat a lot. I eat a lot to comfort myself because I don't have any kids yet.
If I can't have real babies, I'll have food babies. :)
Aren't kids great!? They are so pure and honest. One of my favorites is: "Why do you have red dots all over your face, Mom?" By the way, that cake blog is hilarious!
