Today at school I saw a display telling what all of Lila's classmates are thankful for. After a long list of Mommies, Daddies, and My families, I saw duckies. I didn't need to look and see who that belonged to.
At dinner tonight, Lila was explaining that she was a very tiny baby when she was born. She said she cried really loud in the hospital which made the doctor tell her, "No! No!." I asked why she was in the hospital and she said she was a tiny baby and the doctors had to take care of her. I asked what the doctors had to do for her. Miss Lila replied, "Make me happy so mommy and daddy take me home." We have been working on putting on our happy face in this house. . . I guess it is starting to sink in!
Finally, out of the blue one morning Lila came into my bathroom and said this.
L: I don't want to go in your belly again.
Me: Why not?
L: Because it is scary in there.
Me: How is it scary?
L: It is so dark in there.
Hmm. . . I guess she isn't bothered by the fact that she missed out on three quiet and DARK months in my belly.
