Yes, DJ and I had The Talk.  In all actuality, he schooled me on the subject.  He just comes up with these whacked out subjects to talk about out of the blue.  He explained to me that babies live in bellies.  He also said he wanted to have a baby in his baby.  I explained to him only girls can have babies in their bellies.  He told me he knows how to get a baby in someone's belly.  My smile froze on my face.  All these thoughts were racing through my head, “he's too young”, “where did he get this from?”, “I'm going to kill my father,” etc, etc.  He told me if you eat too much junk food you'll get a baby in your baby.  Phew!  He's still my little boy!

Every day I realize even more how sweet and kind my little boy is and how lucky I am.  True, he's not perfect and I wouldn't want him to be.  He can push my buttons as well, as most children do.  But so far the good heavily outweighs the bad behavior.  He has extremely good manners, he's very polite and respectful (most of the time!) 

Last night, we had hamburgers and hot dogs for dinner.  As usual, my eyes were bigger than my stomach and I couldn't finish my hamburger.  DJ and my dad went out yesterday and picked up some ice cream bars for snacks.  Dj just couldn't wait to try one.  He was telling me all about them and how good they'd be.  I figured this is a perfect opportunity to show him that what I make him do, I can do as well.  I explained to him that I didn't finish all my dinner so I can't have a treat.  He stopped and looked at my for a second, then said, “Don't worry Mommy, I'll go in and eat the rest of your hamburger for you so you can have a treat.“

Thank you, Lord, so much for this wonderful little boy you gave me who sometimes teaches me more than I teach him!
