Flashback Friday...Finally!

Marley would like nothing more than to be a baby again. 

Who wouldn't!?! 

Sleep on your warm and safe mom all day.

ALL of your needs are taken care of...by someone else. 

And you get to mess yourself in a diaper and nobody is trying to talk you out of it.

She asks me quite often if she can get back in my tummy. 

I explain that she can't go back to being a baby and she cannot and will not fit back in my tummy.

We have long conversations about all the fun things there are to do outside of my tummy.

Once I even explained that she cannot get smaller, she just has to keep getting bigger and one day she will have a baby in HER tummy.

She was WAY too excited for that and started asking how she would get a baby in her tummy and when.

I do not remind her that one day she will have a baby in her tummy....I don't have to. 

She asks quite often if she has a baby in her tummy.

Me: "No, you have to be big like me...and you HAVE to be married!"

When Marley's newest cousin got blessed this past winter, Marley became obsessed with wanting to be blessed too. 

I told her several times she was blessed when she was a baby. 

Marley: "I want to be a baby again! I want to be blessed!"

Me: "You ARE blessed!"

My sister suggested I show Marley the pictures we took of her on her blessing day. 

I did.

She LOVED them!

Then I got the great idea to pull her blessing dress out of the closet and show her. 

Great idea? I don't know. 

Marley: "Ok! I put that on!"

Me: "No. You're WAY too big."

Me: [holding dress up to Marley to show she is too big]

BUT, it looked like it might fit her so.....

I had to see....

She's our little peanut.

If her hair was done....not such a mess...she might look like a Queen.

Here's the flashback.
And the story behind her precious little blessing dress.
