At preschool, the children know I have a baby in my belly, and many have had their own personal experience with a new baby in their family this year. But that doesn't stop their curiosity about the growing belly.
Mary, a bright 4 year old asked me when I was 7 months along, "If babies are so small why is your belly so big?"

Just last week a cute 2 1/2 year old redheaded boy asked me why I had a big belly. I quizzed him back, "why do you think?" thinking he knew why as everyone did.
"I think you ate too much snack in the Big Room," he cleverly replied. "My belly gets big too after I eat snack."
"Oh, yeah that could be, but I have a baby in my belly," I responded.
He looked at me for a full minute deciding if I was telling the truth, then said, "No, I think you just ate too much snack." He proceeded to pat his belly as he finished his snack.
