The “alien with tentacles”
The kids are very excited with the arrival of a new baby soon. They are having even more fun feeling my stomach and watching the roller coaster style waves.
Just about every day now they are excitedly asking me, “Is Thomas awake???” which basically means they want to get a kick out of him (ha-ha – no pun intended).
A funny conversation ensued after dinner tonight.
Catherine (spinning around with excitement): “Clare! Guess what?! Thomas was T-O-T-A-L-L-Y AWAKE today and Mommy let me feel her stomach! It was SO weird! Like tentacles inside or an alien raging around! A worm! Yeah, that what it’s like! Some other kind of being, but it’s a baby!!! Oh! I can’t wait!” (She uses her hands to demonstrate the alienness of the whole thing.)
She reminds me so much of this enthusiastic girl: “:)”
