Tucker's questions

Tucker is starting to ponder more and more. Today, whilst waving a plastic sword and jumping around in a mock fight with an invisible foe, he started talking to me about where he was "before he was home (with us) and before he was born." He talked about being in Kazakhstan and not being home yet. I confirmed that this was all true, and emphasized that we were so happy when we brought him home, that we didn't have a family until we had him, and that he was an "apple in our eye" way before we ever brought him home.

He then went on to ask where Iman (a neighbor child) was before she came home, and I explained that she was home right after she was born. I said that this wasn't true for Tucker (or his sister, Mia) because they were special in that way.

At this point, I prepared myself for the "where do babies come from" question. It didn't come.

Later in the day, he asked me where worms go when it rains. Man, did I ever dodge a bullet...
