I visited my niece (and brother and best friend) for the first time since I've been pregnant recently and she is decidedly obsessed with my pregnancy. And also rather insightful for a 3.5 year old... Here are the hilarious and adorable things she did and said during that weekend:
1. After my refusing to sleep in her tiny bed with her: "Can you pleeeeease sleep with me, Kitty? I promise I won't kick you in the belly."
2. After I told her to choose a bathing suit so we could swimming at my uncle's house, she freezes, looks at me very seriously and says: "When you're pregnant, can you still get in water????"
3. While I was discussing the unexpected freezing temperature of the pool, she was staring at my belly and eventually said: "Does the baby get cold in there?" Good question.
4. In a clever attempt to convince me to swim with her since no one else would: "Kitty, we should get in the pool so your baby can enjoy the water." (Good one, kid. And yes, I did eventually get in the water with her).
5. A couple of times, she would come up to my belly and poke my protruding belly button and say "Ding dong!" Rude.
6. Throughout the weekend, every 15 minutes or so, she would come hug/kiss my belly and sometimes whisper into it. Once, however, she grabbed my belly by both sides and shouted "HELLO! CAN YOU HEAR ME IN THERE? IT'S ME...NIECY*"
7. I quickly got used to her coming up to me and lifting my shirt...possibly just to check if it was still full of baby.
8. My favorite...at least 3 times a day, she would come up to me with tools from her doctor kit (a stethoscope, "medicine," and a Dory balance ball that she decided to deem appropriate medical equipment) and announce that it was time to play doctor again. Each time, she was sweet enough to inform me that she would be careful not to drop that Dory ball on my belly and that, no, I did not have to push the baby out.
*Niece's name changed because the interwebs cannot be trusted. AHAHAHAHAH!
