So, my kids have been struggling with the concept of nursing. And my explanations have been quite vague. I've tried to explain it as appropiately as possible, but I just can't bring myself to say the necessary words that would explain how it works. Do they need to know the details? I don't really think so.
Caiden has quit asking questions but not Paige. So on the way to school yesterday Paige says:
"Mom, how you feed the baby I guess you don't have a bottle? (Oh, I should mention that for some reason Paige always says "I guess" in place of "if". It's something we're working on...)
So I'm contemplating on how to properly answer (and it's 8:30 in the morning, and I'm tired and apparently my brain was taking too long) and Caiden pipes in:
"Mom....is like a cow, Paige. And Preston....he's like....her baby cow." (very matter of factly)
And Paige replies "Oooooohhhhhh." As if that clears it all up.
And we haven't had any questions since. So....I'm a cow.

Oh that is hilarious!!!! And Preston is so stinkin' cute!!! Congratulations you two.
To funny! You should have just said that in the first place I guess. :) When Jayda was in the hospital for those couple weeks after she was born she had to eat through a feeding tube so I was pumping all the time and I told my mom I felt like a cow. So the next day mom had flowers delivered with a cow right in the middle. I still have it. Nothing wrong with being a cow!
