After we got the kids down tonight Michael told me his conversation with Wyatt.

Daddy, how did you know I liked that kind of cereal? I didn’t tell you.

Well, I like that kind of cereal.

So, we like a lot of the same stuff so you figured I like that kind of cereal? Daddy, you know if I was born the same time you were, we’d be twins. How would people tell us apart?!

Pause

Daddy, I love you so much.

I love you too, Wyatt. You know, I loved my daddy as much as you love me.

You must have loved your daddy a whole lot then. 

Heidi: How do you get a baby?
Me: How do I get a baby or how does any mommy get a baby? 
Heidi: Any mommy.
Me: When you get married and decide you want to have a family, there’s a special thing the mommy and daddy do to make a baby grow in the mommy’s tummy.
Heidi: What is it?
Me: I’ll tell you when you’re older, like 11 or 12.
Heidi: Well, what ingredients do you use to make a baby?
Me: Some ingredients from the mom and some from the dad. But not everyone can make a baby in their tummy. 
Heidi: Did you and Daddy want to grow a baby in your tummy? 
Me: Yes, and we tried to but couldn’t. That’s when we realized God wanted us to build our family through adoption. 
Heidi: So Sarah grew me in her Tummy and you adopted me? 
Me: Yes
Heidi: I really wish you’d tell me how to grow a baby.
Me: I will when you’re older. 

This hat fits him but is too big for me. He’s four. ‪#‎100thdayofschool‬‪#‎wyattrocks‬ ‪#‎bigbrain‬

Wyatt (4.5): Is today a school day?
Me: Yes
Wyatt: But I went already. I went yesterday.
Me: Do you already know everything?
Wyatt: Well, I know penguins jump out of the water onto the ice by sliding on their bellies!

Wyatt: Happy birthday! Are you 4?
Me: No.
Wyatt: How old are you?
Me: 37
Heidi: Wow! On your next birthday you will be 38!
Wyatt: And then you’ll be 39!
Heidi: And then you’ll be FORTYYYYY!

Super loud, super stressful, super fun for Heidi. Not so much fun for Mom.
