Conversation with Gavin

Me: (coaxing Gavin to get dressed for daycare) "C'mere and get dressed Gavin, are you ready to go to school to go swimming?!"

Gavin: "No, Mommy, the babies are swimming today."

Me: "It's Tuesday, YOUR class swims on Monday and Tuesday."

Gavin: "NOOO, the babies swim today."

Me: "What babies swim today?"

Gavin: "Those babies." (pointing directly at my stomach)

Me: "Mommy has babies?????"

Gavin: "Babies are in your tummy."

Mmmm, k. Where in the world did you pick THIS up at.

...and no, I'm not expecting.

Me: "Mommy has a baby in her tummy?"

Gavin: "Yes."

Me: "No, buddy, Mommy doesn't have a baby in here. Who told you that?"

 Gavin: "Kyle."

Me: "Sorry, honey, but Kyle is wrong. Mommy doesn't have a baby."

I'm hoping to run into Kyle's mom this week. Perhaps she is expecting :)

Gavin: "Baby, next week?"

Me: "No, no baby next week either. Remember that Daddy will be home next week."

Gavin: "Daddy gonna mow. And make popcorn with me."

Me: "Yes, Daddy can't wait to make popcorn."

Gavin: "And mow."

Me: "Yes, and mow."

Gavin: "Look, Mommy, my oatmeal is all gone!!"

Me: "Good job, now let's come get dressed for school."

Gavin: "OK, we going swimming today! Yay!!"

And the conversation has come full circle.

I'm making a run for it.
