How you know you are really, really pregnant

My 2-year-old, who I'll refer to as Mr. Honesty, has a new habit of using the word 'too.'

He says it all day.
"Is too hot?" - to any food on his tray
"Is too cold?" - to any drink handed to him
"I'ne too big?" - to me after I got on to him for riding the cat

So, this morning as I'm getting ready for the day, I was standing in my bedroom in my undies. Mr. Honesty comes trotting into the room and stops cold in front of me.

"Wha'sat?" he asks, poking me in the belly-button.
"That's mama's belly button." I reply.
"Tha's your belly?" he asks, moving his hands to either side of my belly button.
"Yes, that's mama's belly." I reply.
"Is too big?" he asks, nodding his head and looking up at me with his earnest blue eyes...

You are really not as huge as you think. You look great! And, I'm not just saying that because I have a girl-crush on you! It's true!

I love kids, man. My nephew told me last week that I needed to get my hair out of my face at the table (how did he know I was self conscious about the new cut??) Later I leaned on John's shoulder & I guess he thought I was wiping my nose, because he said, "Aunt KT, Uncle John is NOT a tissue!" Clearly S has his own opinions as well.
