typical

It was bound to happen. He's a typical man. With typical male immaturity. I guess immaturity also comes with the territory, considering he's only 2. 

Smith discovered boobs. Mine, in fact. But this has been a known fact for a few weeks.

"Mommy's BOOBIES!" can be heard echoing through the halls of our new home. I'm not sure how he knew what 'boobie's were. I don't think that I actually taught him that. And I'm pretty sure Kent didn't let that one slip. Obvi. Because he will only refer to them as funbags. Okay, not really. Maybe. Just last night when walking up the stairs to get into the bath, I scooped him up and his hand went straight into my top, cupping my left boob. He doesn't really know any better, I suppose. But it's still... odd.

It's made me a little uncomfortable though. Especially this morning, while in the midst of an epic tantrum because, God forbid, Mommy had to get out of bed and couldn't snuggle any longer to watch Octonauts, I invited Smith into bathroom with me. Since this seemed to be the only remedy to the ear piercing wails coming from this little micro-human.

I disrobed, opened the glass door to the shower and proceeded to step inside. When I caught him. Staring. At my vajingo. Head cocked to the side ever so slightly and a look of bewilderment on his face. I can only imagine the internal dialogue that was going on in his head.... 'What the hell is that thing? Mine doesn't look like that. I. Can't. Stop. Staring at it!" Instead of any words forming, all he could do was point and make a grunt that sounded like a dying turtle. 

I suppose I need to start covering that shit up. And my boobs. And correcting him when it borders inappropriate.

Who knew 2 year olds could be such men.

I still don't cover up all the time, but it leads to lots of inappropriateness. Trent has asked me many times where my penis is. Um... He's also pinched my nipple more than once. I always pull his hand off the nip, and explain that girls don't have penises...but yeah, totally awkward. Ha!

Yet again why I am afraid to have a boy baby.

I change in front of Hunter every morning, granted he's still too young to know there's a difference but I do wonder at what age I'll have to stop doing that or stop bringing him into the ladies room with me. He's fascinated with his own weiner though and grabs it as soon as that diaper is off. Good to know that playing with themselves starts early.

We all spend so much time naked at home, I don't think it's ever been really mysterious or weird for our kids. Logan still showers with me sometimes and he just thinks that girl parts are funny. (Personally, I thought it was funny when he would occasionally poke daddy's junk in the shower.) I understand it's not for everyone though, we're just really open about it.

This made me laugh. It's not too much better with girls.. Or at least with mine. She likes to pull at my shirt and say "Mommy lemme see yo boobies". Which is funny. Until we're in public. Or she'll point them out to random bystanders. Even more fun.

Or there's the time she starts playing with hers and singing "i got boobies!! two boobies!!". Gracious.

She also likes to talk about "dingalings" and why we don't have one. Who even teaches her these words!?!

Man alive. I got a serious case of The Awkward's when my 3 year old son thought it would be fun to fake breastfeed along side my newborn son while I was actually feeding him. I mean, I didn't even know where to go from there.

I am dreading the day when I have to worry about those things! We have a girl and she doesn't even notice anything right now but I'm sure it will happen eventually!

This makes me laugh because Cooper has been doing the same thing for a while. He is always in the bathroom when I shower and has asked "what's that" several times referring to my vajingo. And this morning he said "mama's bra. BOOBS." I said boobs to him once, like 2 months ago, and he never said it until today.
