Funny one

I don't have a proper belly button yet.

What I do have is a stump of dead skin, held in place by a big yellow clamp.

Noah calls it my 'funny one' and he likes to point it out to everyone I meet.

"Look!" he'll say, pulling up my nightie, "She's got a funny one!"

Today he and Dad were on hand for my bath and final inspection by the midwife.

Noah mentioned my 'funny one' to the midwife.

But then she got some scissors and chopped off the yellow clamp.

I cried.

Noah just stood over me and patted my head.

"Don't worried" he said. "We'll put it back on soon".
