I have been on a cleaning kick this past week and have put out some of our knick knacks and pictures that had been put away during Logan's curious time as a toddler. One of the pictures I took out was of Kirby, Tyler and myself from our trip out to Jackson Hole Wyoming. We are standing in front of mountains in front of Jenny Lake and of course, Emma and Logan aren't in the picture. I put the picture in our bedroom and yesterday after work I came home and laid down for 5 minutes and Emma came in to visit. She looked at the picture and this was our conversation.
Emma: Why are just you, Daddy and Tyler in this picture? Why didn't you bring me and Logie with?
Me: That picture was before you were here. Before you were born.
Emma: But, why weren't Emma and Logie there?
Me: Because you weren't a baby yet, you weren't in Mommy's tummy back then.
Emma: You can't eat people!
Me: (laughing) No Emma, you are right. You just weren't a baby yet.
Emma: Oh, so like I wasn't a baby or big kid yet.
Me: Sure.
So, there's the short version of how life is created to a (almost) 4 year old. I'll take any advice for when the time comes that I really need to explain how babies are made.

That conversation has been had so many times at our house too! Funny! Hard for them to grasp that concept! :)
