Boob Man
By Mindy Johnson in General, Kids, Raising Them and Praising Them
Yesterday we had a talk with Walter. He seems to be pushing, patting my breasts here of late. He did it yesterday to get my attention and we immediately told him that that's an area on people you are not allowed to touch, pat, whatever. This morning, Walter decided to draw my portrait. When he was finished, he called me over for my approval. At first glance, there were 3 sets of eyes. I asked about the 3 pairs of circles and Walter explains that the top pair were my eyes, the middle pair were my nose (nostrils) and the bottom pair were "those things" as he points to my breasts. So I decided it was time for Walter to know the anatomical name. Breasts, I tell him, those are Mommy's breasts. And so Walter becomes a boob man at the age of 4. "And this," Walter continues, this big thing is your nose...this is your nose, Mommy." Thanks, Walter.

I truly think that teaching anatomical names for body parts has been a good move. My kids are not ashamed to call it what it is. I haven't heard the word "breasts" in a very long time- after this discussion - it sort of went away.

And Carrie has no problem saying her vagina hurts at times when she urinates. Love it.
