The Birds and The Bees

I noticed Ava was thinking real hard about something, trying to figure something out in her head, looking very perplexed...

Me: What's up Aves

Ava: Mommy, so when Miles and I were borned (born), we just popped out of your tummy? Like BAM, POW (imagine her doing exaggerated hand motions from her stomach here) BAM! Your tummy just broke open and we popped out?? Like BOOOOOM!!

Me: Well, you see...well...no baby, you came out of my vagina.

Ava: With your PEE????? You PEEEEEED me out?

Me: No babe, there's two holes down here, a pee pee hole and, a baby hole...

Ava: Oh, okay.
All relieved and happy with that explanation...she walks over to her Dad and says:
Daddy, guess what? I popped out of Mommy's VAGINA!!!
Aren't kids suposed to ask questions like these when they're like 7 not 4?

Can someone tell me why I can tell my daughter the truth about something like that but can't tell her that she's eating chicken or cow for dinner?

On another note...I had big plans for a post about our weekend of firsts, but, the video I had of Ava riding her bike WITHOUT TRAINING WHEELS was deleted on accident. Yes folks, NO training wheels. She's a big kid now, and SO excited about it. And, the other big news...Miles went pee pee IN the potty this weekend! He's actually done it three times now, and went POO in the potty this morning! Yup, a big week at the Blyth household. Fingers crossed the potty training continues at this rate...can you say NO MORE DIAPERS? I can't wait.

You are so lucky - your kids both wanted to be potty trained! Good boy Miles! My girls dont ask questions like that yet, but they are OBSESSED with the word "boobies". We hear it a lot around here. Maybe Ava will grow up to be a gynecologist? I mean she knows so much already.

Every story you tell about Ava makes me want to fly my kids to Bend for a playdate!!

I LOVE the "how was I borned" convo! Especially the excitement she had when telling Galen all about it! Way to go Miles on the potty training!!

Stacie said...

LOL, that Ava is too funny! She's going to know everything about everything by the time she's 10! WTG, Miles! What a big boy and not even two! WOW!!

Erin said...

Ahhh what I would have given to be there for this conversation. I love how honest you are with your kiddos.
Congrats to Ava on the no training wheels and congrats to Miles on going in the potty.
Miss you guys!

Big day in your house! Congrats to Miles. I look forward to updates on your blog every time I log in. A good Ava story always makes me smile.

Melanie said...

What can I say...your children are brilliant!!!

Tara Holmes said...

WOW! You are having a great week at the Blyth House. LOVE your honest explanation of the 2 holes and the exaggerated motions as your stomach ripped apart. AND I can't believe Miles will be diaper free soon and that Ava can already ride her bike with no training wheels.

Baby hole? Guess that's pretty much what it is, isn't it? Ha! Congrats to Miles, such a big boy! Did I mention how jealous I am?

Gina Samuel said...

That is funny. My Mom told us all about that stuff at Ava's age too. She had too since she has pregnant Moms over for childbirth classes! So jealous Miles wants to go pee and poop in the potty. Lucas likes to stand there and hold his weiner like he is going to, but never does. I guess when he is ready...
