The Important Conversations

Yesterday Suzanne came to visit me for a couple of days. Today we had a great time visiting the local science museum near me. We happened to walk in on the first day of their Wednesday preschool series where the kids get to do a craft, hear a story and then see a live animal. Today we learned all about the screech owl. I think Suzanne and I were way more excited than my older son (OS) who was most impressed by the oatmeal cookies they were giving out and definitely more excited than my younger son (YS) who fell asleep just before the animal caretaker walked by with the owl. Afterwards we went to see the ferrets or as OS calls them "the carrots".

Later on at home OS needed to change his outfit due to a slight mishap resulting from an initial failure to point himself down into the toilet when he peed. He took this opportunity to streak through the living room and then to subsequently conduct a most important conversation with Suzanne. He stated that he and the dog have penises and that mommy has a "gina".

A. Elliot's Lesson Learned: You just never know what a 3 year old will say or do.

    If anybody needed a naked 3 year old explaining anatomy, it's Suzanne.

    When my son started distinguishing between girls and boys he said, "Boys have a penis and girls have a no-penis."

    Where did you guys go? Is it every Wednesday? Because at this point with the temperatures hanging around in the arctic tundra range, my boys are so stir crazy ... We're looking for good indoor activities :)

    I love the kind of candor that comes out a kid's mouth! That's is great.

    I was most impressed with his knowledge of human anatomy. Also, it cracks me up that he calls ferrets "carrots." He's a good egg, that son of yours. They both are.

    I had a great time visiting you guys!

For those of us who didn't get an instruction manual with our babies and for whom parenting hasn't always gone as planned. On a more serious note this blog is about supporting a woman's ability to make her own choices about parenting including the choice, for whatever reason, to bottle feed her babies formula.
