I Can't Believe She Said That!

My monthly gift from Mother Nature has resumed it's monthly delivery! Not so fun! But for a Mom who hasn't had a visit from Aunt Flo in a year it is a big deal. The first time I pulled out the lovely box above, Lilly promptly thought that it was candy! Yes, you are reading it correctly. She came up to me with a tampon in hand and said, "Mommy can you open this, I want candy!" She was upset to find out that it was indeed not candy. How do you explain to a 2 year old what it is? I think I came up with something along the lines of, this is for mommies and maybe someday when you get older you can have one too! Oh boy, it will be interesting when that day comes!
