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

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

DD @ 2yr knows

Hair, head, ears, eyes, nose, mouth, chin, cheeks, shoulders, boobies, arms, hands, fingers, nails, belly, back, bottom, vagina, legs, feet, toes, penis...

I taught her to say Vagina and Penis because of the thread Sammiejane was referring too... It really made me think...

But in saying that i have had some embarrassing and funny moments out in public when she decides to tell people that she has a vagina, or point to dad and say Penis... But her favourite one is recognising boobies! As soon as she sees a bare chest (IRL or Photo or tv) she yells it out an points...

hair,head,ears,eyes,mouth,nose,tongue,teeth,chin,c heeks,shoulders,neck,elbows,arms,
hands,fingers,tummy,bottom,legs,knees,feet,toes,he els,back,boobies.
DH tells DS he has a doodle but I tell him its a penis. He also knows where that is

[Trillian]

We have all the body parts down pat here, but penis is 'doo-doo' for doodle cause he can't say penis LOL. Mick, what about Yoni? I've started using that with the girls as it's not as confronting as saying vagina or vulva (especially in public! LOL)

[~clover~]

Lol, when I say where's the boo boo ( we were in the shower, thought I'd test him) he pointed & we 'aaah!!! Num!!'
I can no longer get dressed or shower around him with them uncovered...I get the aaah, num, then yelled at for putting them away!

ETA - from what I remember it wasn't so much the word the child uses & confusion...it was more that sexual predetors feel more confronted when a child uses the grown up words for their 'bits'. It is more likely to appeal to them if the child uses childish words IYKWIM.
