Jay jay,

My DD was almost 7 when we were pregnant with her sibling, she is VERY mature & so we bought the "Where Did I Come From?" book, we read it together, there was no sniggling, giggling or anything she listened & learned. I then lost the baby & so we explained to her what had happened, I then was pregnant again & she knew how the baby got there!

Infact she went in to school & asked her teacher (Grade1) how many kids she had, then she proceeded to tell the teacher that she had had sex 3 times as she had 3 kids!!!
The teacher & I discussed that Maddison didnt find it humourous, or rude it was just her way of observing/understanding about babies!

I think when maddy told my Dad that he had had sex 3 times (as I am 1 of 3) that he almost died of embarassment, but not her!

So I'd say tell her the truth, it'll be easier to excpalin it now than in 2 or 3 or 5 yrs time when she is all embarassed by it, atleast now Maddy @ almost 9 knows & it isnt akward!???
