There's a Baby on the Way

Rai, it's hard to tell if you understand or not that you'll soon be a big brother. We make sure to tell you every day. We explain it in detail whenever your attention seems fixed on Mom's belly or when you're around other toddlers or infants. "Soon, a baby will come out of there and look just like that," we tell you, pointing from Mom's belly to the nearby infant.
Still, you've given us very few signs to let us know that you've caught on to all those hints and connections we're trying to make. Even when hanging out with our friends' tiny newborn, you seemed to understand little of what we tried so hard to tell you. "A baby that small will join our family really soon, Rai!" Nothing. No reaction. No gears turning inside your head.
Now, we've had to resort to extreme measures. It is said that people learn best by doing, through experience. So, we decided that having you go through mock "births", by recreating your own womb and birth experiences, we could somehow get you to understand that another baby will soon make that same journey from the womb to the outside world. The plan was simple. First, make you feel like you were back in the womb. That was easily done using a transparent hemisphere at the playground. Next, to recreate your own birth, we trapped you in a box, and allowed you to push your way out. By thus re-creating your womb and birth experiences, you can now fully understand when we tell you about the baby-to-come's life in the womb and fast-approaching birth. Now, you get it.... right?
