So I believe Cole may have revealed to me today why I so uncharacteristically tossed my favorite cake yesterday.
Tonight at bedtime, I was mid-sentence reading to the boys about how God made geese to help and encourage one another by utilizing the V formation. Out of the blue, Cole interrupts me, pats my belly and asks, "Do you have a baby in your tummy, mommy?" "No," I respond and try to move on to how we can learn from the geese, when he chimes in again. "Then what is that, mommy?" patting my stomach again.
Now, I'm just irritated. I try to move on, hoping to make the honking of the geese more interesting than the roll of whatever hanging over my waistline. But Cole presses on. "But Blake's mommy has a baby in her tummy," he continues. Okay, so now maybe I'm a little more than irritated since Blake's mommy (who, I will say, at least looks terrific) is a full 8 1/2 months pregnant and my whatever roll is now reminding him of her... He then smiled and said "I wuv you, mommy" with his eyes squinted and his one dimple showing - so I couldn't hold it against him.
So apparently, I don't need anymore cake. I am instead blessed with three bold blessings of truth...

You look terrific, don't worry about what the kiddos say! My niece told me a few weeks ago that my stomach was getting really big. And since I know that I am the picture of health and physical fitness, I didn't even pay attention. I just ate another piece of dessert. :)
Haha. This post cracks me up. Remind me to not place my stomach in the same vicinity as Cole. Getting on the treadmill now...
