"Mommy, how did I get in your tummy?"

Tonight I was talking to Adam about when he was born.  I told him that when the doctor took him out of my tummy he was crying really hard and the doctor put him up to my face and I said "hi, baby" and he instantly stopped crying.  He became very calm and looked right at me.  It was the sweetest thing.  He actually recognized my voice.  After telling Adam this story, he asked "how did I get in your tummy?"   Well, this isn't a conversation I was ready to have with him (we will save that for Life Skills in 5th grade) so I told him that God put him there.  Which is true, since all children are Gifts from God.  He still didn't quite get it and he looked me right in the eye and said "momma, did you eat me?"  He was so serious.  I just laughed and said, no honey, God put you there to grow in my tummy.  Thankfully he became interested in watching Ben10.
