Pool, positive attitude and parenting

Pictures of Amy in the aquatic environment. She is blowing bubbles, scooping her arms, kicking her legs and holding on to the side of the pool. Never knew what a joy parent/child swim lessons would be. Best half hour ever. She's so happy in the pool.

Okay, I know I shouldn't take these things personally, and I should look for the positive, not dwell on the negative. But this is hard man. I know I'm not as thin as I'd like to be, but pregnant? If I maintain a positive attitude, then I will just attribute her little declaration while patting my tummy that I have a baby in there, to false association with learnings from Miss Patricia. Is she just thinking all mommy tummies have babies in them? Or is she thinking my tummy is as big as Miss Patricia's?

And then there's this repetitive, "go away mommy", that comes at very undesirable times. Like when she's crying for comfort, and I come to be the one to do that, and she says "go away mommy".

Okay, I'll just maintain a positive attitude and assume this is normal vocabulary development...
