Nascence

S.C. recalls to big brother Nigel that they were once in Mommy's belly. She asks,

"Did we have fun together?"

Sophia Claire comments to her mommy:

"Do you remember when I was in your belly? I was in your belly when I was a tiny baby. Nigel was in your belly, too. And George, too.

". . . Are there more babies in your belly?"
