The Big Talk

This week during school I was scheduled to have the birds and bees talk with Ella.  Now she really hasn't ever wondered about where babies come from.  Though I must admit that not too long ago she wondered where the hole is that the Dr. gets the baby out from.  I told her it only comes for the baby to come out and then it disappears.  She wondered how the Dr. digs the hole and then it disappears.  That statement alone made me cringe in pain at the thought of the Dr. digging.  Anyway, on to the story at hand! 
Before we had kids we decided that I would talk to our daughters and Kipp would talk to our sons about all of this.  How was I to know that I would have 4 daughters and 1 son?  So this week I thought, "Here goes nothing, right?"  Honestly, I was kind of dreading this.  I'm just not ready for all of this.  My babies are just babies still.  How can I talk to my innocent baby girls about sex?  But I know that I want to be the one to tell them the information in the manner that I feel is best.  So here's my opportunity to talk to Ella.
She hops up on my lap and I begin with the big question, "Ella, did you ever wonder where babies come from?"  "Nope."  I'm a bit puzzled/relieved at this point.  "They come from mommies."  "Did you ever wonder how they get inside mommies?"  Again she responds, "Nope."  Again I am feeling relief.  Maybe we don't have to have this conversation!  "They come from God.  God gives us babies, momma."  Ah, total relief!  She doesn't wonder and I'm not telling.  So we went on to talk about how long a baby lives in its momma before being born and how little they are and how big they grow.  And so yes, I can save that talk for another time.  In some ways I think I may have wimped out, but in other ways I know I did what was best.  Why open a topic that can't be closed?  I'll enjoy her innocence for as long as possible.  I love that she knows that God gives babies and doesn't question how He gets them inside momma.  I love her faith in a wonderful creator!
