Unmet Expectations

This morning I brought Hazel with me to my ob/gyn appointment. She hasn't come with me to see the "baby doctor" in a few months. When we got to the waiting room, she turned to me, tilted her head to one side, and said matter-of-factly, "Doctor take Jack out. Out Mommy's tummy." I tried to explain to her that we've still got a few weeks until that happens, that we're just going to listen to Jack's heartbeat today and see how he's doing, but Hazel repeated her prognosis in front of the doctor. So... I'm guessing today's doctor's visit was a bit anti-climactic for her.

YES!!! Hazel is my favorite!!! Don't kids say the craziest things?? This little boy I nanny announced to me yesterday that his mommy was going to have a baby sister and they were going to name her baby Jesus...we didn't even know she was expecting....they don't know if its a girl yet BUT they are expecting....I guess if you have a secret you don't tell the 3 year old....

Poor Hazel. I hope she wasn't too crushed by reality. She's going to be such a great big sister.
