Kiss the Baby in Mommy's Belly

Russ and I have been discussing how to introduce the idea of a new baby to Aiden, and at this point, we aren't in any rush to make him understand. He is only 19 months old, and I have 6 more months to go. We have bought a few picture books to use, but for now they are just in his book pile that he looks at.

The other day I decided I was going to show him my belly. Well, he certainly got a kick out of my belly button. (For those of you who don't know this about me, I can't stand anyone touching my belly button. I can feel it all the way through my back! It gives me the hebejebe's! Seriously!) Aiden giggled as he pointed and touched my belly button. It has become quite a game for him. He will come over to me, lift up my shirt and actually pull my maternity bands down so he can see my belly button. Russ and I have seen him lifting up his shirt and pointing to his belly button.

But- there lies a problem with this. The other day at the grocery store, Aiden lifted his shirt and then proceeded to pull my shirt down and flash everyone my chest! It was just fantastic. The kid didn't even do that when I was nursing him. But now- with a baby in my belly, he thinks he can just pull down whatever he wants! :-)
