runningmommy519, I've heard it's important to use the real terms too because it makes reporting sexual abuse better? easier? If kids can call their parts the right name.
I've heard this too. Jake is suuuuper aware of his penis and knows the correct term. We use that and booty. I don't know why I started saying booty. He however, thinks everything that comes out (pee, poop, gas) is poop. He ALWAYS says "poop poop" when he pees or toots regardless of how many times I tell him he's peeing/tooting. Lol

So we heard back from the mechanic. It's going to cost more than I was hoping to fix our van. So no extra money from our tax refund (but should still be able to take our trip....i will be going on a trip god damnit!)

runningmommy519, joi922, i believe the term is from the other kids. I use the correct terms, she sits in the tub and points to her vagina, look mom i have a penis. no sweetheart you have a vagina and that back there is your butt. no mommy its my penis. no it's your vagina. (screaming now) no I have a penis!!! Just like my baby brother - (points and pulls) just like this penis.
hiimjamie Hi there! GL with your insemination next week! Just being nosey (and feel free not to answer) but will you be using the same donor? J is super cute btw! And yes, all our babies are getting so big!
Thank you!! J's donor is all sold out and inactive so we couldn't use him. We didn't even think about getting extra and storing it. We're actually going through a different cryo bank this time! The new donor sounds way too good to be true LOL! He's a lawyer who played D1 soccer, runs a soccer camp in Africa for 400 orphans, speaks 3 languages and is a master scuba diver. I mean what?!? He's also got all of the good health stuffing going for him of course!

Yes. In fact, in my class they told a story of a female kindergartener going up to the teacher saying "jimmy touched my flower" because the children had just made paper flowers out of construction paper the teacher thought nothing of it. She got irate call from the parent the next day. Because they called the female part (which of actually a vulva) a flower.

They also said that we an start teaching about appropriate touching now at our kids age. Like when we are changing their diapers "Ethan I'm wiping your penis right now. Who else can change your diaper and wash your penis? Mommy, daddy.... etc etc etc"

It's raining and Ethan is actually taking a good nap which is good because I have another headache. I'm not sure what we'll do when he wakes up. I'm thinking movies because my head hurts
Miserable day at work and I have a headache. I should go to the gym because I haven't been in about two weeks, but I'm tempted to just drive somewhere, turn my music up and just give myself some time away from the house. UGH.

Wow. I really didn't think about talking about it so soon. Makes sense.. ugh I hate this is even a thing.

I do this too!! I say Mommas, your teacher when they change your diaper. I'm so worried I'm going to leave someone out or something. Like teacher if obviously fine now but at some point it won't be. I also hate that this has to be a thing.

hiimjamie I think if either of my kids say something like "someone who isn't mommy or daddy did this..." I'd be able to ask more questions or know if everything was ok.
