How do you refer to genitals?

[~breeze~]

I used to say "nini" for girls & "willy" for boys, thats what I taught DD ...... UNTIL I read the previous thread on here on the same topic (I think its the one this one was merged with) & realised that if anything happened to DD & she said to someone "my nini hurts" or "xxx touched my nini" etc other people (like childcare teachers, other family members) wouldn't know what she was talking about, so I have taught her to use the proper words "vagina" & "penis" which she now does.

I will also teach DS "vagina" & "penis" from day 1.

Thank you ladies for bringing that to my attention btw

I admit I use the word junk with DS at this age but fully intend to use proper names so that others can understand what he means.

"nini"

...had to laugh....this is what we call my daughters dummy.....she puts her nini in her mouth all the time....LOL......i guess thats when it can get all too confusing for them - when we all call 'them' diff names.....

DD calls my vagina a weewee, but we're getting her to call it and hers a gina. DF's bits are called penis. He says pecker, but I am trying to get him to teach her the right words.

I don't believe in giving them 'nicknames' I don't understand the point, I don't think it is any different to calling fingers fingers and toes toes. Our boys call their penis a penis and Jackson knows mummy has a vagina although he hasn't mastered the 'V' sound yet and it comes out more like Bagina!!
