A visit from another mommy

Today, the mother of one of my students stopped by the house. We did a clean out of baby stuff and offered some things to them for their baby. She offered to visit with the baby, but we had to remind him that the baby isn't here yet. She patted her tummy and told him that the baby was still there and wouldn't be out until February. I reminded him that we have Thanksgiving, then Christmas, then Allie's birthday. Then it would be time for the baby to come.

This evening Matthew and I were talking again about giving the play yard, stroller and toys to the baby. He reminded me that the baby was still in the mommy's tummy and we couldn't visit the baby yet. He then sat down on the floor, picked up a stuffed dog, and said "I want to put a baby in my tummy" and tried stuffing it under his shirt. His daddy about had a heart attack when Matthew walked upstairs with the dog in his shirt and announced that he had a baby in his tummy.
