And it started like this:<br />
<br />
H: "Mommy, I miss Olivia"<br />
Me: "I do too honey"<br />
H: "Wait, how does Olivia have two moms?... She has TWO moms?"<br />
Me: "Yes. Sit here next to me and we'll talk about it"<br />
<br />
So I took a deep breath and proceeded to tell her that when I was young (like a teenager--not like a child) and not married to Daddy, I got pregnant. Olivia grew in my belly and b/c I didn't think I could take care of her, I found her a new mom and dad. <br />
<br />
H: "So she has two mommies? Because you're still her mom?"<br />
Me: "Well, she grew in my belly like you did and that's why you're sisters but she has a new mom"<br />
H: "Oh, ok. So I have two sisters. . . Let's play some more tic tac toe."<br />
<br />
Gotta love kids! <br />
<br />
I maybe should've told her earlier but I was waiting for it to "click" and for her to ask me herself. <br />
<br />
So she did. And we talked about it. And I'm SURE that more questions will come but at least the initial talk is thru.<br />
<br />

LOL! I know it sounds crazy but there weren't too many of them so it wasn't really a big deal! I am keeping the blog for the purpose of commenting on other blogs and <i>just in case</i> I feel the need to post something. Happy blogging. :)Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13153702376033634161noreply@blogger.com0
