Does Oliver have a baby in his tummy?

Kids truly say the darndest things... and tonight was no exception!

Oliver always has a VERY full belly by the end of the day. He always eats a pretty good dinner for being a little 16 month old and drinks a ton of milk. And all of this just goes right to his cute lil big belly.

Well, tonight, Miles and Oliver were in the bath together and sweet lil Oliver will only stand in the bath. We've encouraged him to sit on his butt and enjoy the warm water but he will only stand (and therefore his body/belly is right in Miles' face). So tonight, Miles pointed right at Oliver's full belly and said "Does Oliver have a baby in his tummy?" And Derek and I just cracked up laughing! He asked it so sweet, innocent, and honest.

Miles associates big, full bellies with babies because of when I was pregnant with Oliver. And, sadly, he's asked me a few times post pregnancy if I have a baby in my tummy. So, I've tried to explain to him that he needs to be very careful with that question as it could hurt someone's feelings. :) It was pretty funny tonight though.

(I will try to post a picture of this the next time he takes a bath)
