Tummy vs China

I thought I would share a conversation I had with Kylie the other morning....

Kylie: How come Nela (also from China) is shorter then me when we're the same age?
Momma: Because Kylie remember some people are taller and shorter then others. Like Auntie is shorter then Momma.
Kylie: Yes Momma, but Auntie is younger then you. (Gee thanks for pointing that out!)
Momma: Well Kylie when you're like 18-19 years old you'll be full grown and we will know how tall you're going to be.
Kylie: (Thinking about this) Oh then I'll be all grown up and can go to China and "get" TWO babies.
Momma: (Pondering this) Well yes Kylie you will be all grown up in SIZE but not in age yet. And you have to be at least 30 years old to go to China and "get" babies. Don't you want to have a tummy baby (what we call pregnancy).
Kylie: Nope! I'm going to China to get TWO baby girls (and you'll help me take care of them) and when they're all grown up Rachel and Megan (twins who are 3 mos old now) will be able to play with them.
Momma: Well Kylie what about a boy? Would you like a boy instead of a girl?
Kylie: Hmmmm...well maybe but I for sure want TWO girls from China.
Momma: Well first of all you will have to grow up and find a husband. Should Momma and Daddy find one for you?
Kylie: No, I can do it.

This has been a recurrent conversation...Tummy babies vs "going to China" And Kylie is adamant she IS GOING to China like Momma did. Only time will tell. But this will be a great story for her to read when she is old enough to have/get babies :-)
