before ty was born we (mainly me) began searching for the correct word to call ty's private. after quizzing several mothers of little guys and becoming quite frustrated with all these different names to call something quite simple, i decided it was time. time to teach the kids the correct names for all these body parts that we try to minimize by calling them something else. so one by one the girls learned the real names of our tee-tee's and our na-na's. after this, they had the choice to call it what they wanted. of course when nursing, we still say na-na, don't ask me why but of course it has just stuck. they, of course, think it is so cool to say that girls have a vagina and boys have a penis, and we both have buttocks.
after leaving the gym awhile ago, a younger guy held the door for us. probably from the local university here, but you could tell he was a gym rat. kadence instantly got weak in the knees, smiled and said thanks. kambel, oooh kambel. as we were making our way to the car this young man passes us - the get along gang. kambel, normally very quiet, had a light bulb go off. it must have been real bright, because she was loud. "mommy! him a boy, him got a penis just like ty-ty! and me and sissy got buttocks-es." yes dear. now where is my truck.
