Amusing conversations

I suppose we're moving past the 'get to know you' stage and into the 'who are you to me and what is this whole adoption thing' stage.

Andrei's been acting like a baby lately, and (when he's not doing it to get out of chores) I hold him and call him my baby and rock him. He pretends to cry and I tell him I'm here for him always and he's my baby Andrei.
The other day we were reading about Abraham and Sarah and how they were sad because they didn't have a baby. Andrei then said he was my baby and I hugged him, then he said something about coming out of my tummy. Um, no, remember - you were in Russia, and then you came to live with us. "Oh" he says "I remember - I was in [orphanage teacher's] tummy!" No, sorry. You were in another lady's tummy and then you went to the orphanage and then you came here. (I really have to look up his birth-mother's name because I don't even remember it right now) I guess this is how the conversations start.

Yesterday we were watching TV and the spiders were making babies and he correctly pointed out to me that mamas make milk from *here* (poking me) Then he asked me if I made milk. I said, no, mamas only make milk when they have babies. "But I'm your baby!" "Yes, but only when babies are little" He then proceeded to crawl in my lap and tell me he was hungry (uh oh) I asked him what he wanted to eat and he said a banana (phew!)

It's interesting to see what he already knows and what corolations he's making. All day he tells me about how things were 'in Chuvashia'. Everything from "we had grass in Chuvashia" to "we had magical fairy princesses in Chuvashia" He says he misses his friends.

I wonder how he will process the news that he has another lady in his life that he never remembers meeting.
