Ok. So while Hunter is growing up way too fast, I still look at him and see a little boy. But he is all the sudden asking questions that seem way to old for him and I am certainly not prepared to answer.
We will start about 2 weeks ago. He asked me out of the blue if I bought him from the doctor. I said no that he grew in my tummy. Then he asked if the doctor put him in my tummy. I said no that mommys and daddys make babies together. He of course then asked how, I really didn't know what to say. And I am very seldom left speechless. I honestly don't remember how I answered, I'm pretty sure I just changed the subject. Not quite ready to broach that subject yet.
So then yesterday we were driving and Hunter asked when dogs and cats die. I just said that dogs live about 12-15 years and cats a little bit longer. Then Hunter asked if when Jasper dies we could get a cat that would play w/ him. For those of you that don't know, my cat hates everyone but Scott and I. I think Hunter has touched her twice and Brooke never has. Little does Hunter know, when these pets are gone we will be a pet free home.
And then tonight, Hunter asked why we never get to see angels. I said that maybe we do that maybe when angels are on earth they look just like us. He then asked how Jesus can be everyone's hearts and in heaven. I answered the best I could although Hunter was convinced that even on earth angels will have wings and halos. There should be a book that tells parents how to answer these childhood wonders.
Oh, but then he went back to being 5 and yelled at mean saying I was mean. Some moms say it hurts their feelings when their kids say that... it kinda did but I sent him to time out and felt a whole lot better.
