The Birds and the Bees

Yesterday, while we were eating dinner, Matt made a comment to the kids that if you put the bones from your meat in the ground you can grow a cow. I quickly told them he was kidding because they believe everything we say. So Matt jumps right in to telling the kids how babies are really made. He just blurted it all out. I was holding back laughter because it was so awkward. The kids just starred at him. It was kinda cool though because we didn't decide it was time to tell them and call them to come sit down for the "talk" It was completely out of the blue and now they know what we do when we say it's "mommy daddy time" I guess we'll soon find out how they interpreted our conversation. The kids have known some things about anatomy and they know how babies come out of mommy. Spencer was present during both births and Kia was there for Wesley's. But they never knew the actual process of how babies are made. We have always wanted to be open with our kids about sex and body parts and the functions therein, and we want to be the ones to tell them and not their friends or the media. We also hope the kids will feel comfortable being open with us when they have questions or problems.
