DoobieRoo

We wanted the girls to have lots of time to adjust to having a new brother or sister so we’ve shared with them that Mommy is expecting a baby. Sadly enough, my stomach is already starting to pooch so Kenna has been noticing. She keeps informing me that my belly is “fat”.

The other day Kenna was inspecting my belly and a puzzled look crossed her face. Now keep in mind that she is three and her six-year old sister hasn’t even thought of these questions yet (or at least hasn’t asked them yet).

Kenna points to my belly button and says “the baby come out dere?”

I giggled and said that no, the baby would come out of my vagina. She got the most disgusted look on her face and said “Outta your ‘gina? That’s just gwoss.”

I asked her why it was gross and she said “cause that’s where poop comes out”. I laughed out loud and told her that poop comes out your anus which is different than your vagina.

Side note: We try really hard to use correct terms rather than silly made-up stuff like vah-jay-jay. I read this big study on child molesters where several convicted pedophiles revealed that kids who use proper terminology are bad targets. I guess if the parents are open enough to use the right terms, they are open enough to talk about sex with their kids and therefore they are more likely to get caught. It seriously took some practice when Moira was little. I think Alan giggled every single time he said vagina for the first six months of her life. Luckily she doesn’t remember that time at all. Bonus!

Kenna just shook her head and said “Nope, that’s where poop comes out. Gwoss!”

Can’t wait to see her reaction to meconium poops. You ain’t seen nothing yet kid!
