Okay, so I am going to hijack and ask, do any of your boys ask about your parts?? Kevin thinks I should be more discreet, but it’s a little hard when every time I’m in the shower the curtain flies back and here comes Owen’s little head in there trying to get at the water. And if I lock him out, I have to listen to him cry the whole time and beat on the door. Not my idea of a peaceful shower time.
He will say, girls have to wipe after they go potty, and boys only wipe when they poop, so something has obviously come up in daycare here and there.Griffin got into the girl parts when I was BFing, and we got a few comments then, but I’m not sure I want to get into the whole this is this and that is that yet b/c you know the comments 4 y/o make in the grocery store or elevator to complete strangers………… I would be mortified then.July 10, 2008 at 3:27 pm #53676AnonymousInactiveI didn’t have anything to add w/ the erection discussion b/c my 2yo is not bothered @ all by them-lol.
BUT, he is very observant & interested in our “differences”. He goes around the house saying “daddy penis, yes” “me penis, yes”, baby penis, yes”, “mommy penis, no”.I’ve always been open w/ him (but he is still young) b/c there was a point where it was easier to let him shower w/ me than roam the house. If he points I just say “Mommy has a vagina”. Before he got the whole ‘mommy doesn’t have a penis’ thing down he used to come over to me (if I was naked) & point to his penis, then point to me do the sign (he wasn’t talking then) for “where is it?” – it was really funny.I grew up in a very open house re: body image, reproductivity, nudity, etc. I hope to do the same w/ my family but we’ll see. I had a sister & that was it – it might be harder to do w/ me & the boys.July 10, 2008 at 3:35 pm #53678AnonymousInactiveI’m a pretty open and blunt person, but my dh definitely IS NOT. My parents are really open and we always used the correct anatomical terms for things. I always think that something is wrong with Nicholas’ penis. I don’t have one, so I have no idea what they’re SUPPOSED to look like. I am always asking my dh to look at it to see if it looks okay. He now refuses to have any part of that. He thinks I am weird.
July 10, 2008 at 3:38 pm #53680AnonymousInactiveTiffany don’t be embarassed about posting this! It is perfectly normal and I think it’s great you all have such hilarious stories to share! Only having Sarah, we’re not there…but I feel like I have a better ‘heads up’ now if we do ever have a boy!
DH will not let Sarah look at him while he’s changing or showering. He just feels really weird about letting her ‘see’ him. She’s going to figure it out eventually though whether he likes it or not!July 10, 2008 at 4:05 pm #53681AnonymousInactiveCooper loves to stare at my boobs when I am getting into the shower. That makes me feel a bit uncomfortable so I have actually stopped telling him to come in the bathroom with me when I shower. (we have a stand alone shower with a clear door). I now just leave the bathroom door open and listen for him. he usually ends up in the bathroom before I am out of the shower, but I wrap myself up quickly. It is just a bit different/odd when you are a mom with a boy or a dad with a girl… My niece showers with her dad and she is 2 1/2 yrs old… I think that is a bit much but that is my personal opinion.
July 10, 2008 at 4:21 pm #53682AnonymousInactiveNo problem with the hijack- I am LOL too but I’m not promising I still won’t delete this eventually…
Seth has just now started to notice my boobies. I did not BF so I guess they are new to him. He will pat them (when I am clothed) and say “big boobies” (they really aren’t that BIG but I guess they are compared to his and DH’s!). I tell him it’s not nice to touch people’s boobies (he slaps Dh’s too).. So, I have just recently decided that he is too big to see me naked since he is starting to notice things.
DH was so weirded out about being naked around Seth when he was younger, that he would wear his bathing suit if he got in the bath with him! He doesn’t do it anymore though.It’s definitely a riot being the only girl in the house……Mom2Seth2008-07-10 16:26:47
July 10, 2008 at 5:25 pm #53683AnonymousInactiveI’m enjoying this thread so much – definately having a good laugh! Aren’t our kids the best?
This all reminds me of a time when Ben was little, maybe about 18 or 20 months. He was in a phase of saying everything was “Mama’s”. Probably because when he would get ahold of things he shouldn’t, I would take it and say “No honey, that’s Mama’s”. So then he would often point to things and say “mama’s”. Well one time he was watching DH get into the shower and just as he got undressed Ben pointed to his penis and said “mama’s”! It was so funny, we just laughed and laughed!MFPIx22008-07-10 17:26:38
July 10, 2008 at 6:23 pm #53685hellbenntKeymastertoo funny!
I don’t have any good ones to add. I try to be honest and direct and then quickly re-direct the converasation, LOL! Jonah likes to pat my boobs from time to time- I just take his hand away nicely…he sees me naked and only once asked what my vagina was (called). My sister is very anotomically correct w/ her daughter, my niece. She calls it what it actually is, a vulva (apparently that’s the part we see & vagina is actually inside…. That’s way too much for me, LOL!Jonah asked me what my bra was the other day. I told him “top underwear“July 10, 2008 at 9:35 pm #53698AnonymousInactiveOh my gosh I can’t stop laughing!!!!
July 10, 2008 at 10:26 pm #53713AnonymousInactiveI was talking to dh about this topic today and he said that the other day he got out of the shower and Cooper was in the bathroom and tried to grab his penis!!! DH is 6ft 5in tall and all legs so I can just picture Cooper reaching up!! I just had to continue with the laughter fest. This has been a great stress reliever today. Thanks Tiffany for being brave enough to get it started.
July 11, 2008 at 8:58 am #53726AnonymousInactivewe use the correct terms “vagina” “penis”, (Laura vulva would be a bit much for me too, LOL!!) but I call it generally “private space” and teh boys know they can not touch other people’s private space. Trust me though, they have no trouble touching their own!!!
July 11, 2008 at 9:24 am #53728AnonymousInactiveOMG, these stories are all so funny! Oh, I was telling DH about this too and he wants me to clarify he and Seth have PECS not boobies.. Whatever, Seth calls them all boobies!
July 11, 2008 at 9:35 am #53729AnonymousInactiveToo funny! My dd classifies us by our boobs.
“mommy has big boobs, me and daddy have little boobs, grandma has big boobs…”
July 11, 2008 at 1:34 pm #53735AnonymousInactiveLOL about the boob classification, Kristin. Such a girl thing!
Kaden has been touching women’s boobs alot, mainly family, mine and my moms. He was bouncing his hands off of my mom’s boobs last week. I just tell him he does not touch a woman there. Of course he sees DH slap me on the butt all the time when he passes by me, so he slaps me on the butt now too! Geez, can’t wait til he does it to a woman in the grocery store or the bank (eyeroll)jilly782008-07-11 13:49:47
