Confusion

We are in a world of confusion about the "baby in Mummy's tummy".  I have been diligently buying and borrowing library books about younger siblings, but there don't seem to be many out there where the characters are actually human.  We've read about baby zebras, rabbits, more rabbits and more rabbits.  Expectations are currently running high for a new pet.

At the weekend, I thought that I had struck gold with an episode of Dora, where her Mummy has a baby.  Firstly it happens in the time it take Dora to sing a song, secondly, she has twins and thirdly (and perhaps most maddeningly) in a follow on episode, it turns out that the babies can fly.  How much help is that to Dora's young fans?  I mean, really.

All this is compounded by Alice's steadfast belief and willingness to tell anyone (daycare teachers, people in lifts at the car park, friends etc) that "Mummy has a baby in her tummy and in her boobies". 

Perhaps she thinks it's triplets???  We're going to need to some clarity before October.

  1. I have not found a book on babies but found a book on hospitals....now Madison is obsessed with the drip in the patient's arms in the pictures and goes on and on that I will have one....never mind the fact that I will have a baby as well!
