Talking about an upcoming pediatrician visit

The other night Nancy was telling Erin about her upcomming check-up.

Erin: "Why do I have to go to the doctor? Am I sick?"

Nancy: "No. Sometimes you go to the doctor when you are not sick, just to check that everything is ok."

Erin: "I don't want to go to the doctor."

Nancy: "You know, if you are a good girl the doctor might give you a lollipop."

Erin: "If I'm a really REALLY good girl can the doctor take the baby out of your belly?"

I find it especially heart warming to think that Erin considers getting a new baby brother or sister a higher reward than the promise of a lollipop. For a 3 year old, I think this is awfully cute.
