Kids say the funniest things.

When Kyler got home from school today she said maybe when I grow up I can peep out of my tummy. She is convinced that boys go to the bathroom out of their belly button and today she is convinced that when she grows up she will become a boy. I tried to explain to her that she will always be a girl but there was no convincing her of this. She has really started the age where she asks tons of questions. She now points to body parts and wants to know their names. Unfortunately these aren't body parts like leg and arm. I have read lots of stuff that says just be honest and give children the correct name for everything. They obviously don't know my daughter. She would be screaming penis or nipple during church if I do that.

One more quick story. . . . This morning Kyler was going to the bathroom before school and I hear her say "Oh my word!". When I go in there she is looking at a magazine while going peep and she says "Oh my word momma that is the cutest outfit!" I have a little priss on my hands to say the least.

I laughed out loud! This is hilarious. I can just hear Kyler's cute little voice saying those things. My aunt thought she should teach her children the correct "terms" for body parts. When my cousin was 3 or 4, her mom put her in the shopping cart kind of hard. She screamed, "Ow, mom. You hurt my "china" in front of everyone at the grocery store. I don't think I'll be teaching our children the "correct terms" either.

Allyson, that is hilarious! I think the word we will use for that part is "china". Perfect!

I read that too, but there was no way that would work for us either. My daughter is pretty outspoken too. We use the word "privates". She says "pribates".

What about calling it "domino" in honor of last semester's bible study? That is so funny. I think I will stick with teaching Carley that it is her bottom.

Man, belly buttons are so multifunctional. Lauren thinks that is how I feed Carley...
