You don't need to have a baby if you don't really want one. Alex: What if someone wants to, and I don't? Me: Then you say, 'No. I don't want to.'
How wonderful to be able to have this conversation with a three-year-old, and to have her grow up with all the implied choices and empowerment being fundamental. And someday, maybe her brother will ask questions like those and get those answers too.
