Being the mature & insightful parents we are, Ben and I could never decide what we should teach the boys as far as private parts go. Do we go with proper anatomy names or the silly names we grew up with? To me it just sounds wrong to hear a little kid say penis, or worse...the v word! I don't even like the word breasts.
So it shouldn't be surprising that our boys have made up their own names for private areas. A few years ago, probably while potty training, Kaleb started calling "it" his "peep." He was going pee, it kind of makes sense, we went with it. Then Dylan was born and I was nursing, so he started asking questions. I told him it was my chest, where Dylan got Mommy's milk. He has a chest, girls have a chest, no big deal. Well, recently he and Dylan discovered that they have nipples, and the new name around here is "booms."
Kaleb told me today I was going to look silly when my tummy and booms got bigger. I'm already HUGE, being in my last trimester, so I asked him if I looked silly already. He said no (thanks to some minor brain-washing by Ben who tells him that Mama is ALWAYS tiny), but I'm pretty sure he meant yes. Our CrAzY boys!!!

Ha-ha so funny! It's always an awkward thing to teach body parts! "Booms", that cracks me up!
It really is awkward trying to figure out what to have your kids call things like that. Like I want my two year old saying penis! I finally just resorted to calling his privates just that, "privates". He says it and it works just fine. The other day in the bath Kaden wanted to dump water on Paxton's head and I said no. Then Kaden asks, "Ok, how 'bout Pac-ton boobies?" I about died! Who knows where he learned that, but I didn't know whether to laugh or tell him not to say that. Instead I just said, "No, pour the water on his belly." We'll cross that bridge later.
Tee hee hee!
What until your little girl gets here and oh my!! will those boys have questions for you!!!! I will never forget when my girls saw TJ for the first time and Lily started screaming ,"what's that..aaahh!" LOL!! I have dramatized my brother's with our girls code name for their privates..haha!! Good story. (:
Too funny. I have quite a few funny boob stories (that's what we call them around here) and penis stories (also what we call it around here, or at the park, or grocery store,etc.) Fun times;)
