Last Friday Ben got to stay home for the morning with his dad, Trent. However, Drew still got to go over to Shanna's early and ride to school with her. I am relaying this story, but here's how it went down.
Drew walked right into Shanna's house and started chatting with Ben and Trent like he'd done it every day of his life. He has actually only met Trent a couple of times, but you wouldn't have known that. Later, as Drew and Shanna were leaving the house, Drew shared that he thought it would be a good idea for he and his sisters to come over and play again sometime. Yes, that'd be fun, said Shanna. Drew went on, "Yeah, when Ben is bigger we should come over and play with him. That'd be fun. You remember when we came over to play a long time ago? It was before Ben was even in your tummy. He was still in Baby Land."
Ummm....where was Ben?
"Baby Land."
"Oh, yeah? Where's Baby Land?"
"I don't know. It's really far away though."
"Hm. What do babies do while in Baby Land?'
"Well, I think there are slides there. And trampolines. They just play."
I love this conversation for some many reasons. But mostly it makes me thankful that he's not like Lily. When Lily was five we were discussing the biology of making a baby and how one would physically make that happen.
Whew.
