Little does my wee tot know, but her statements Monday night would have gotten us stoned or burned at the stake several hundreds of years ago. The crime? Heresy.
The Little Lady believes that Mommy is going to give birth to . . . .
(wait for it)

BABY JESUS!!!!!!!!!!
Monday night, as I attempted to rock my stubborn child to sleep, The Little Lady pulled out all the stops, desperately trying to stay awake. We read books, sang songs, and prayed three times.
I think it was the multitude of songs and prayers that caused her to reach her faulty conclusion. These days, her favorite songs are she has learned while at Sunday School. Since she is still in the baby class, her class is all about singing. . . including a few songs about Baby Jesus.
As we sat, rocking and rocking and rocking . . . and singing and singing and singing her Sunday School songs, The Little Lady abruptly sat up in my lap, with a puzzled look on her face.
"Where Baby Desus go," she asked -- her little hands raised above her shoulders.
Before I could give her a complete, theologically sound answer, she reached her own conclusion.
With absolute certainty, the Little Lady lifted my shirt, exposing my swollen, baby filled stomach.
"Der he is!"
And, with that discovery, she leaned over and kissed my baby/belly/Baby Jesus.
Um . . . anyone have ANY ideas how to explain to a 22 month old the truth? I've tried, but I am NOT getting through to her!

It will all become apparent soon, don't fret.
ROFLMAO...
good luck explainin that one...lol.
Boy is she going to be in for a shocker. ;)
That's way too cute!
Aw! She is so precious.
You could tell her how everyone one of us has a little bit of Jesus inside us, and so does the baby that is inside your belly. But that the baby is not Jesus himself ... though he or she is a beautiful mirical that God and Jesus have bestowed (sp?) up on your family.
Hope that helps :D
HEHEHEHEHEEEEEE! That is so CUTE!!
She'll figure it out all too soon when her new sibling takes her doll, scribbles on her book or smacks her on the arm. Ahhhhh, the joys of sibling rivalry! :)
I have no idea but that is THE CUTEST thing I've ever heard!!! What a sweetie pie. :-)
That is te sweetest story!!!!
What a precious heart she must have.
Precious little thing she is.
That is stinkin' cute! What a doll! I think she will know the truth when the baby is born, but if it is a boy...don't name him Jesus .. might confuse the poor child even more.
I'd say go with it! LOL!
tell her it's a Divine (mis)conception!! lol!
Too cute! She's a smart one that Little Lady!
That is a tough one...no ideas. But it made me laugh!
There's something rather 'miraculous' about this post! lol
LOL!! That is so sweet. :)
My sister in law gave birth to their second child (a girl) on December 9th. They brought my nephew up to the hospital (he was not quiet 2 at the time) to show him his baby sister. They picked him up and leaned him over the bassinet and said "who do you think that is?" And of course he said "baby Jesus". Baby Jesus was born at Christmas time right??? :) He of course figured it out quickly as I am sure Little Lady will as well.
Too cute! My daughter thought I was pregnant with a chicken when in fact it was actually her little (human) sister! I think it's just because we did have a lot of chickens running around and it was familiar!
LOL.
SO cute! But nope, no ideas. When I was pregnant with Izzie, Caity was just over 2 and declared to all who would listen, that Mommy had a baby elephant in her tummy, and she was mighty disappointed when it turned out to be just a baby sister. But now she loves her.
