Body parts we know so far

[danniellabella]

Jessica, that's funny. Might be time for some new games though.

Re private parts, I'm not ready to teach DD what the name of her parts is. I don't know when I will be...probably when she's old enough to understand that some words should only be said at certain times. I was watching scrubs the other day and Turk said that he doesn't want his new baby daughter to know she has a vagina until she's 18...that sounds good to me LOL.

LOL. I had this discussion with a friend the other week. I have no problem calling a penis a penis - the girls know what a penis is as well and have no problems talking about it - but I just can't call their vagina a vagina. Partly I think because DW doesn't call it that, and I tend to follow her lead, but also because I know it's not really the vagina that they're talking about - it's the vulva, and I find that word even harder to say.

It's funny, I have no problem with it in a professional context, but I do at home with the girls.

we haven't yet come up with anything for vagina simply because i am the only one in the house with one and ds rarely sees me completely naked.

you game me my giggle for the day....i know what you wrote, but i read it as "im the only one in the house'........all i can see is a great big vagina walking around the house
hahah everyone is looking at me, i am seriously laughing out loud!!!

MJ knows
head, hair, face, nose, ears, eyes, mouth, tounge,teeth, shoulders, arms hands, fingers, tummy, bottom,knees, legs, feet, toes.
We dont have a word for vulva/vagina (im with you Michael, its not a Vagina, but i cant call it a Vulva) or penis as the need has not yet arisen... DSS called it a pee pee and then a penis when he was older
When we are wiping we wipe MJ's "bottom" again technically not right but close enough.
When we were little it was a front bottom and a back bottom...

I remember reading on here somewhere that names for vulvas/vaginas and penis's should be discouraged because of sexual abuse and the diffiuclty to understand or know when it is going on - such and such was playing with my 'flowers' etc etc could me so many things.... A bit off topic, but its something i remembered and thought i should share

boobies,
hands,

No discussion yet on vulva/vagina although she did take an interest in mine in the shower, most unexpectedly - gave me a fright whilst bending over to wash my feet!!!!! LOL. Not sure what DH has called his bits when she discovered them in the bath (LOL!!). Will have to ask him.

She can only actually say, eyes, nose, mouth, hair.

I have to say it in the right order for him to point at

DS touches his ears and nose and then my nose and his mouth and my mouth.

He has just taken to patting my bb and saying 'nore, nore, nore' when he is thirsty and I will say they are my boobies do you want a drink and he just nods his head

He does know his penis and we call it both a penis and willy, mainly cause I want him to know it by it's real name and dp calls it a willy. I am glad he isn't a girl cause there is something about the word vagina that is so hard to say
