Tummy time

As I stepped into the shower this morning, Petal squealed with delight.

"What are you so happy about?" I asked.

She smiled, gazing at my stomach.

"You have baby in your tummy!" she chimed.

I'm not pregnant.

I broke the news to her gently that she was not getting another brother or sister soon.

Then I told her to say goodbye to Mummy as I would be going for a run for the next 40 years.
