Stars in Her Eyes

Morgann's curiosity has been peaked! It seems that she is becoming more & more curious about babies, and specifically, the female body and how exactly it works. I guess after watching one of my friends breastfeed her infant, then having a next door neighbor being whisked off to the hospital due to pre-term labor (by me), it was bound to happen sooner rather than later. I've been bombarded with many questions, some easily answered, others not so much! But, I seem to be navigating the waters of the female body well enough to suit a 5 year old. Thankfully the questions have been more about the 'whys' than the 'hows' of the female anatomy, but I figure that it will only be a matter of time before the 'hows' begin.

Meanwhile, during one of our recent discussions, Morgann was quick to inform me that she has made a decision regarding her future. She said that, first, she wants to be a mommy. She said that she plans to have a baby in her tummy until it is finished growing, then she will feed it 'booby milk' until it has teeth and can chew it's own food. All I could do was smile and nod since she was as serious as she could be. Once she has conquered that first hurtle, she has decided that she will indeed become an astronaut. And she was quick to inform me that it must happen in that order.

So, while I work on navigating the sometimes treacherous waters of human anatomy and physiology, Morgann will be working on her quest to conquer the great unknown :) It's a good thing that she enjoys adventure because both of her plans will require a brave soul!
