Male Anatomy

There is a website out there that you can connect your blog to and it will give it a rating. No surprises, mine was given a "G". This story may bring me up a level though, according to the rating system, certain terms or words, including body parts, are flagged... Anyway, worth sharing...

The last couple of nights while giving Max a bath, we have been reviewing body parts.
He points to his eyes and says, "Two eyes."
He points to his nose and says, "One nose."
He points to his mouth, belly, two arms, etc.
and then he points "down there" and just looks and me and smiles and says, "One..." and waits. The first time, I wasn't sure if he knew what it was so I said, "One what?" He just repeats himself, with a big smile, "One..." and waits. So I, with my book knowledge of child rearing in mind, say very simply, "Penis." He says, "Penis". and we move on to other parts.

The next night, we are in the tub again and we start the routine from the beginning...
He points to his eyes and says, "Two eyes."
He points to his nose and says, "One nose."
He points to his mouth, belly, two arms, etc.
and then he points "down there" and just looks and me and smiles and says, "One..." and waits.
So I don't make a big deal about it, just say "penis" and move on. But he knows this is so funny for some reason, and just giggling to himself at this little game he has going on.

Third night, same story... I guess he just realizes that something covered up all the time must be funny, or maybe it is just a funny word, I don't know. At least Zoey wasn't in the room at the time, she would just be cracking up and running around talking about Max and his penis. And I tried to just be normal and technical like I was talking about a nose... but it didn't work. Oh well, I guess it happens to all parents of boys.
