Conversations with my two-year-old

I got home from a day of meetings a few moments ago and enjoyed the following conversation with my two-year-old daughter (she is a few months shy of age three):

Me: Hi, B.

B: Hi, Daddy

Me: What are you wearing (it was some sort of pink material that looked like a blanket, all one piece, wrapped around her and tied in the back)?

B: A "super-thing" that mommy gave me so that I will be covered.

Me: Oh, it's pretty

B: Yeah, remember when I was in your tummy, Daddy?

Me: You were in my tummy?

B: Yeah, I was a little baby, and I was in your tummy. I was really cold, so I came out and I was 'borned.' And then I got my 'pack-pack' (backpack) and then I made pancakes.

Me: You made pancakes?

B: Yup. And now I'm wearing this 'super thing'.


And here is another conversation from the other day:

Me: (Seeing B standing up next to the toilet with her shirt lifted half-way up and her hand on her belly button). 'B, what are you doing?'

B: I'm trying to go potty.

Me: Why are you standing up?

B: I'm trying to go potty out of my belly button like T (her 6-year-old brother).

She made a few grunting noises and pushed on her belly button...but nothing came out. Never would guess she has four older brothers, would you?
