"Mama, how did God grow me in Meghan's tummy?"
When God was ready to make you he planted a teeny, tiny seed in Meghan's tummy, and you grew and grew and grew until you were ready to come out and be our daughter.
"Mama, how did God put the seed there?"
Well, God had help from Meghan and your birth father.
"Mama, how did God put the seed in Meghan's tummy? How?"
Hmm... God brought them together and they made the seed that would grow to be you.
"But Mama, how did the seed get in there? With a shovel?"
No, not with a shovel, Sweetheart. When grownups love each other very much God teaches them a special way. We can talk more about that when you're older.
"When I'm four, Mama?"
Maybe when you're four.
"Mama, does God eat cranberries?"
I don't know.
"It's OK, Mama. You have precious eyes."
Would you do me a favor and stay this age forever?
"No, Mama, I can't. Sorry, Charlie."
(yeah, me too.)

Last week I got from Anna: "I was in another mom's tummy and I wasn't ready to be born. Mom, how do people get out of tummies when they are babies. How?" I just said "I'll tell you when you're older". That was all.
