On our way to dinner last night, Finn suddenly asked me ...
Finn: Mommy, how do boys help girls bring the baby out?
Me: Boys don't help bring the baby out, it's just the girls, the mommies. Boys help make the baby, but they don't do anything to bring the baby out.
Finn: Oh yeah, that's what I meant. How do boys help make the baby?
Me: Why do you ask?
Finn: I just want to know.
Me: silence ... thinking of how to explain it.
Finn: Mommy, how?
Me: Well the girl has the egg (making a circle with my thumb and index finger), and the boy has the sperm (other index finger wiggling). It comes out of your pototoy (I know, I should correct this term already). When the sperm joins with the egg, that forms into a baby. The baby grows inside the mommy for 9 months.
Finn: How does the sperm get inside?
Me: silence again ...
Jojo: Mommy, tell him (with a straight face)
Me: Remember when you asked me where you came out? (Finn opened his legs and pointed to the spot I showed him before ... but that's another story) That's where the boy puts the pototoy for the sperm to swim up to the egg.
Finn: Ohhhh ... ... ... You mean babies grow from eggs like some animals?
Me: No, that's just what you call it. The egg is very small, and the sperm is even smaller. When the sperm gets inside the egg and they start to form the baby, it's called an embryo.
Finn: Oh ... I had a fun time swimming inside mommy (I told him before that there's water inside with the baby, hence the swimming)
Me: How do you know?
Finn: I remember.
So there you go, a very direct approach. I'll show him pictures of a baby growing next time, if I don't forget. He's very interested in the human body and science in general. I'm glad coz I love science (^_^) Sometimes he'd just ask me about trees, space, or rain (we discussed about the rain last night too since it was raining), even death and religion and I'd tell him something and he goes "what else?". Very inquisitive. It's a very good thing to want to learn (^-^)

Weight Loss
I'm trying to lose weight so I'm cutting down on calories. I don't need 2000 calories especially since I'm always on my butt in front of the computer =P so I really need to watch my calorie intake so that I burn more of what I take in.
This is my dinner tonight. Doesn't it look yummy? It's Dannon's Light & Fit Orange Mango yogurt with 1/3 cup of Kashi Go Lean Crunch which is a mix of 7 whole grains and sesame cereal ... yummm!!! Last night I had the same thing with Strawberry Kiwi yogurt instead.

Hmmm ...
I'm trying this out to see if it's better than the old one ... hmmm ... I'm still having trouble with the search bar. Let me know what you think.
Snow and Coffee
We had a snow storm that started around midnight Thursday and didn't stop until Friday afternoon so that school was closed. Finn and his dad played some this afternoon. The snow was in good condition to form snowballs since it's a little wet. I just took these pictures then went back inside coz I had to iron and pack Jojo's stuff for his trip this evening.
I'm not really a coffee drinker and Jojo wasn't either until about a year ago I think? Well, now he takes coffee in the mornings and sometimes in the afternoon too on weekends. We have a 12-cup coffee maker but it's kind of a hassle to use that for just one or two cups of coffee right? So yesterday we went to Target and bought this Senseo coffee machine which brews one or two cups at a time. Instead of spooning in coffee in a coffee filter, it uses pods - small discs of ground coffee already wrapped in filter. Pretty convenient since you don't have to measure everytime. It comes in different flavors too. Right now we have medium roast, dark roast, capuccino, and french vanilla. The machine also came with one cup, 2 containers for the pods with sticker labels and one pod pack of hazelnut waltz. There are tea pods too so maybe I'll try that next time. I also want to look for hot chocolate pods, not sure if they have it. Hope I find one so I can use the machine too (^_^)

I got ...
3 dozen roses delivered to me today! I wasn't expecting anything really, since I still have the flowers from our anniversary (tho they are drying up already). So this was a very pleasant surprise (^_^) The vase it came with is very pretty and then I just added some of the fern and stuff from my other arrangement.
We don't really celebrate V-day but he gives me flowers anyway. And we definitely don't go out, even when we were still dating. But I don't mind getting flowers, although I would have preferred getting an extra battery for my camera {hint hint (~_^)}.
Jojo will be flying back tonight and as of now, it's delayed by an hour. As long as it doesn't get cancelled, it's ok. Thank you BAJ!

Seven
So we're now on our 7th year! Too bad Finn has no school today so we had to take him with us for lunch. That's all we did today, had lunch out. Jojo is working from home so we can't really go out the whole day. After lunch he bought me a dozen roses (^_^)
