First Comes Marriage…Then Comes Baby

As I am editing maternity pictures, 

Riley asks me "does that lady have a baby in her belly or did she just eat lunch?" 

(he has a problem with noticing big bellies and loudly speaking about the baby in that persons belly, so I tell him not all people with big bellys have baby's, some people just eat too much for lunch) 

I responded "yes, she has a baby in her belly…"  

He then asked "but why don't you have a baby in your belly?" 

and I again responded "I used to have you in my belly and Tate in my belly AND Blakely in my belly…but now your here, so I don't have a baby in my belly anymore."

He continued his inquiry…"why is there a baby in that lady's belly?"

I said "she's a mommy and that's what mommy's do…girls get married to boys like you and they have baby's"

He squished up his nose and said "I don't want to marry that girl mommy…I want to marry you!"

As my heart melted a little…I reminded Riley "Awww, thanks bud, but you can't marry me."

He asked, "why not?"

I thought I would spare him the whole marrying the family rule and simply state "cuz I am already married to daddy."

He then declared "ALright. then I am going to marry Nana!"

I shook my head and said "Nope. can't marry her either."

"Ava?"

"nope."

"Caleigh?"

"Nope."

"Jen?"

"Nope."

"Alright then…Brandi."

"Nope not her either."

Riley flopped his arms down in frustration and fell to the ground and said "Agh!! I'm never going to get married!"
