The A-Team

The other night Abraham was laying next to me and rubbing my belly to say Hi to the new baby. He was being so sweet. I proceeded to tell him that before too long he will start to feel the baby kick and move within my belly and that the baby will be strong enough to kick his arm right off (my belly of course!). Well, I didn’t say the “off my belly” part. I assumed it was understood since we were demonstrating the action…but horrified my son exclaims, “No Mommy! I don’t want the baby to kick me. Then I will only have 1 left!!!” It took me a few seconds to put this together in my brain to figure out WHAT he was saying…he literally thought the baby was going to kick his arm OFF and he would only have 1 left! Poor kid! What a miscommunication! I quickly reassured him and all is well:) I still think he might be leery of when the baby starts really kicking!
