Due to a lack of interest in cleaning up after themselves, the boys have had most of their toys locked up in the toyroom. Ben got to keep a few for at least assisting Rob in cleaning up his room, but Matthew has lost all of his toys for the week. That leaves them with Anna's toys, which consist of a large collection of baby dolls and accessories, a pink Little People house, and purses. So I guess it shouldn't have been too surprising to find them playing "Newborn" this morning.
Rob and I were attemtping to ignore the fact that it was time to get up when the kids came into our bedroom with a baby doll wrapped in a blanket. Matthew explained to us that Anna just had a baby and they were taking care of it. Anna was supposed to be laying on her bed because she was sore. Dr. Matthew and Nurse Ben informed us that they cut the baby out of Anna's tummy and she's too sore to get up (but assured us they didn't use a real knife). The "new" mommy then came into the room and the medical staff scolded her about being out of bed. She then informed them that she didn't want to play anymore, so Ben offered to be the mommy instead. Matthew said he wasn't a girl, so he couldn't be the mommy, and I think at that point Anna agreed to play again.
After they left the room, Rob and I looked at each other. Rob said, "Oooookay....what do we do with this one?" "Easy," I replied, "we blog about it!"
(Just so you don't think my kids are knife-weilding maniacs, they know I had c-sections and just saw a friend of ours with her new baby in the hospital, and she had a c-section as well. That's all they know about how babies are born and I think we'll keep it that way for awhile!)

hahaha! Sounds like our concept of "Jail." Toys are locked up that don't get picked up. Sometimes when their friends come over and ask where all their toys are, and the kids say "Jail", their friends get a really funny look on their faces. It's hilarious! Slowly they're learning.
