Young siblings are intrigued by new babies, from the fuzzy tufts of hair on their tiny heads to their itty bitty fingers and toes. Thrilled with the new title of big brother or sister, they love to hold their new baby, sing lullabies and sometimes feed him or her using a bottle. They usually aren’t interested in changing diapers though.
But when Mom settles down to breastfeed the new baby, siblings drum up an endless stream of questions.
Little Ava climbed up on her mom’s lap as best she could while mom Ali nursed new baby Hannah. Ava was enthralled with her new baby sister and couldn’t stop babbling about her. She leaned in to closely observe Hannah nursing and wasn’t quite sure what she was seeing.
Ali’s sister Stephanie recorded the interaction between nieces Ava and Hannah, which started out as simply adorable then quickly turned comical. As 22-month-old Ava observed Hannah nursing, she instructed her baby not to bite their mom. Ali interjected and reassured Ava that that’s just how babies eat.
Ava pointed at her mom and pointedly said, “From your boobies?”
Ali and Stephanie chuckled, then Ali tried to explain that the baby was drinking milk.
“Do you know what she’s eating from mum, Ava? She’s getting milk.”
She completely caught Ava off guard who then demanded to know where the chocolate milk was at.
“Where’s the chocolate milk at? I don’t see chocolate milk. Where’s the chocolate milk at?”
Everyone in the room could not contain their laughter and started cracking up. Stephanie’s Facebook video of the chocolate milk mystery has more than eight million views. Ali shared with her local CBS radio station that that’s typical Ava.
“We could pop out a million more videos like that. I’m glad that people can see her personality.”
When asked if Ava loves chocolate milk, Ali laughed and said, “Yes she does.”
“She asked me again this morning, ‘Is she getting chocolate milk?’ I had to say ‘No, she’s not getting chocolate milk!'”
Andrea Wellman Hostetter commented on Stephanie’s Facebook thread how adorable Ava was.
“Oh my goodness, this is the sweetest thing ever. I love it!”
The website What To Expect captured 14 of the funniest things wee ones said to their moms and shared it with readers.
“My five-year-old told me she wants to be a bird. Not to fly around high in the air or anything cute like that. She wants to be a bird so she can poop on cars.”
“I was in the bathroom for a while yesterday, and my three-year-old was yelling for me in the house. I said mommy’s in the bathroom and would like privacy. She barged in and said, ‘Ok, you need privacy, I’ll just watch.’”
“A few days after we told my son I had a baby in my belly, I sat down with a plate of food. He stares at me for a minute and asks, ‘Mommy, you going to squish the baby with you food??’ LOL I had to explain I had a tummy for eating and a tummy for baby.”
“Whenever the baby cries my four-year-old says, ‘Haha! Good luck!’ and runs away.”
“My three-year-old walked in our office as I was nursing today and sighed loudly, ‘I sure do love a boobie.’”
Watch adorable Ava ask mom about her chocolate milk in the video below. It’s one of the cutest things. You won’t be able to stop laughing either.
