So the other morning I looked out our window and noticed the nieghbor's cow was having its baby. The calf was just barely sticking out and I knew it was going to be a short process, so I called for Karter to come and watch. At first he didn't know what in the world he was looking at, but after I explained that it was a baby, he was so excited and totally into it. He stared out the window with his nose smashed against the glass, not saying a word. All I could think about was the poor mom, knowing how bad it must hurt! It took about 10 minutes and finally the cow plopped out into a pile of straw. It was so small and cute! Karter was so excited to go see it so we got all dressed and walked over to the nieghbors pasture. After a while of oohing and aahhing over how cute and little the new baby calf was, Karter looked at me and asked,"mom, is that how me and Kaidynce came out of your belly?" I started laughing, and thinking, should I lie or tell the truth. I figured it made no sense to lie to him so I just answered back, "pretty much!" He started laughing and then made the comment, "so we were like little turds." Again, laughing, I just said, "pretty much." There was really nothing else I could say at the time. It was just so innocent. I love his curiosity!

Oh my gosh - that picture is just so stinkin' cute! How funny - the birds and the bees talk after seeing a calf born. And the funny thing is - yup, it's pretty much the same! :) And yup - they are just like "little turds." :)
