Mommy: "Oh, I hope I sleep tonight, I'm so tired."
Sara: "Why won't you sleep?"
Mommy: "Oh, just thinking about all the things I need to do before I go and all the things I will be doing when I'm in Ethiopia, like meeting Seth."
Sara: "Why don't you just dream about all that instead?"
Mommy: "Sometimes it's hard to get to sleep when you have lots on your mind."
Sara: "Well, what you need to do is take it out of your mind and put it all into your heart and then save it for when you see Seth. So, just put your hand on your head, like this, and take it from your head and then put it to your heart. See, now you can sleep!!!"
---------
Mommy: "Will you share your toys with the new baby?"
Sara: "Well, only the soft ones, like stuffies, so he can't hurt himself on all my good toys."
---------
Daddy: "What do you think we will say to the baby when we see him for the first time?"
Sara: "Party's over!! Time to go!!"
---------
Daddy: "Remember Sara, it might take our baby a bit of time to get used to daddy, and might want to be with mommy a lot."
Sara: "OK, but as soon as he is not scared of you anymore, I get to go back on mommy's team."

And for a good chuckle...
After a lengthy discussion of different body parts...
Sara: "I know where babies grow too!"
Mommy: "Where?"
Sara: "In the mommy's tummy."
Mommy: "Well, not in the tummy, but under the tummy in the uterus."
Sara: "And you did not grow a baby in your tummy, right?"
Mommy: "That's right, my uterus cannot grow a baby."
Sara: "Hey, Mommy!!!! Did you and Daddy try that lovin' thing to get a baby? Maybe that might work!!!"
Mommy: "Do you mean 'make love'?"
Sara: "Yes, like when you go into bed and a baby comes out?"
Mommy: "We tried that, but it didn't work..."

ha ha ha ha ha ha! Thanks for sharing these! I needed a good chuckle this morning.
I'm sure that you have these words stored in your heart, Laura. You will be taking Sara's wisdom with you to Ethiopia and when you need it you can take it from your heart and put it into your head. My prayers are with you and those you love. Have a wonderful journey to Seth. Wuv from Kallie and her nana.
GOOD luck on your trip. My fingers are crossed you pass court OFFICIALLY while you are there!!

I think the "back on mommy's team" one is my favourite. :)
Safe travels to you Laura!
I think Sara should write an advice column!
That was so fun to read. If this is the norm for conversations at your place, you could write a book.
I can't wait to meet Sara one of these days.
