I do have Halloween pics - they will be posted soon-ish. I did want to tell you a funny story and I don't want to wait to upload pictures. So, you'll have to wait for that ;)
Our friends have been potty-training thier boy for a while now. The boy likes to talk about his unit in technical terms. He says things like "My penis worked!" when he successfully pees in the toilet. Well - since we hang out with our friends very often, my girls have heard that word a little too often.
The other night, Eva said to me, "Mom, my penis hurts." (Little girls are not the best at wiping properly and keeping themselves clean - so they often get a little irritated. ) I wasn't exactly sure how to react, so I said, "Eva, only boys have a penis - you don't." I thought that would be enough.
The next day, Eva said the same thing to Daddy. He decided that it wasn't ok for her to use that term - it just isn't right. So he told her the common name for female parts - vagina.
The day after that, we were driving in the car and Eva informed me that "girls don't have a penis, they have a .... a....(she's trying to remember the name) ...a veda." (veeduh)
Bryce and I just laughed - that's good enough. :)
The really fun thing is to think about things that really are named Veda.
My parents live on Veda Lane (hehe). I didn't take the time to remind her what my grandma's name was either.

so we told Maesyn the proper word, it is a hard one to remember... so she just calls it her "chinese"...Vagina sounds like "China" that is how i made the connection between Vagina and chinese... good enough. we mostly try not to use those words and say girl pee pee and boy pee pee.
Niiiice.
These are definetly the kinds of stories that need to be recorded. Some day Eva will look back on this and roll her eyes at you. ;)
Too funny!
(i can't WAIT to see you guys!)
You're welcome, Bettie! :D
Ha! We are all about using the correct terms with Noah and Eli; it's always a penis. But for some hypocritical reason the "V" word makes me cringe. I rate it right up there with panties. Aggh! I hate that word! :)
Hey Bets, I'm still waiting for those Halloween pics...or are you too busy NOT reading the next book? ;)
