Talking about funny stories....

#1) DH showers in the afternoon before work and often Michaela hangs out in the bathroom while he does. One week she started noticing his penis but was wathcing it from a distance with a pensive confused look on her face (meanwhile DH is trying to dry and dress as quick as possible) anyway one afternoon he climbed out of the shower and she spotted his penis and started swinging her arm like a trunk and making elephant noises.

#2) My friends son calls freckles "prick" and he has a freckle on his penis. When it appeared his mum and dad made a small fuss 'look DH, DS has a freckle on his penis'. Then one day she was having coffee group at her house, she was busy in the kitchen when she heard "LOOK I HAVE A PRICK" sure enough her 3 yo had pulled his pants down to show the coffee group ladies the freckle.]]> Fri, 02 May 2008 10:24:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16850&PID=372622&title=names-for-privates#372622 <![CDATA[Names for privates? : We call the front &#039;bits&#039;...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16850&PID=372612&title=names-for-privates#372612 Author: CuriousG

Lol Jadey at your boy looking for your penis in the toilet!! That is so cute!!

Well we'll probably call boy bits penis/willy (interchange the 2) and not sure about girl bits. Probably vagina/fanny. Not a big fan of doodle or vulva.

I have a boy here and we have always called it his penis.

We have also recently done he good touch/bad touch talk. And have explained what boys private areas are, versus girls private areas.

To reinforce this, we now no longer shower/appear nude around him.

I also dont appear naked before him as I dont want to get talked about at school!

(Funny story: A while ago I was getting ready to go in the shower, this was before he started school. Ethan was in the room. Ha started giggling.... He was giggling at my bottom!!!!! He thought it was funny cos his was small and mine was big! ROFL !!!!

Penis and Vagina here- I used to find it a bit embarrassing to say but we've got over that now. I don't want her thinking they are anything to be embarrassed about so I'm trying not to pass on my own issues! I know technically we should be saying vulva as we're usually talking about the outside not the inside (ie when in the shower we tell her to clean her vagina) but we started with vagina so it might be confusing for her to change it now. She shortens it to 'gina on her own sometimes.]]> Fri, 02 May 2008 01:46:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16850&PID=372465&title=names-for-privates#372465 <![CDATA[Names for privates? : Fanny and diddle here.

Fanny and diddle here. The boys know the real name for vagina, testicles, penis etc but that came a bit later on as they got a bit older. Just use fanny and diddle for 'everyday use' though, vagina always sounds weird to me lol I've always called it a fanny
I found it quite funny when my boys discovered mummy was different down below. I remember my youngest Brayden walked into the toilet when he was a toddler and saw my bits and got upset because my diddle had fallen off and he wanted me to get up off the loo so we could look for it, PMSL ]]> Thu, 01 May 2008 22:46:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16850&PID=372420&title=names-for-privates#372420 <![CDATA[Names for privates? : Yah Zaara calls front bottom pee...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16850&PID=372396&title=names-for-privates#372396 Author: Roksana

It's called 'lady parts' here (and boys have a doodle), just because that's the terminology that I use.  But I'll teach Ella the correct names when she's older, but I imagine still use slang to refer to them in conversation, so long as she knows what the actual names of them refer to.

yep fanny and bottom here. although, we have been reading the folk of the faraway tree lately and when we first began reading it paris was near in hysterics when i said what the kids names were because of courses there is a girl named fanny to which she said "why would her mum call her THAT?!" it was quite funny.

We don't have big conversations, but i feel with her reaching school age, and going to a big school in the middle of town, that i need to be teaching her a bit more about keeping herself safe, there used to be the great programme that went round kindys.. they haven't come to our daycare.

So we have always talked about good surprises, ie- ones that make you feel nice and happy etc, like birthdays, those are ones that are ok to keep. but secrets, or bad secrets that make her feel yucky are not ok to keep etc.. and we have gone through just in passing conversations about good touch and bad touch. I definately think there comes a stage where they need to learn that not all people out there are good, and that they need to be able to keep themselves safe and know the difference between what's ok and what's not, and that may just extend to some silly kid showing their privates at school, or to something more icky.. but very important i think. So the girls known the technical terms, but they just use the slang.]]> Thu, 01 May 2008 19:35:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16850&PID=372075&title=names-for-privates#372075 <![CDATA[Names for privates? : There is a new programme being...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16850&PID=372072&title=names-for-privates#372072 Author: linda

vulva! that's the word I was looking for before - I faltered and tried labia instead.

EDIT: Funny story -
Hannah says to me, what's the 'handbag' that your wees goes in? (this carries on from a convo where all the organs are other body parts inside were likened to handbags with things in them) and I said the bladder and pointed on my body where it is.

Then I said to her, the place your poos waits in is called the bowel. And she laughed and said "I can bow!" and proceeded to do a full sweeping bow down to the floor!

We call different body parts by their names, vagina and penis included.

Michaela isn't saying much of anything yet but when my niece was almost 3 yo I was getting ready for a wedding at her house and she wandered into the room and announced "Aunty Jo you're a girl" I said "how do you know?" to which she responded "because you have a vegona". I PMSL! It was sooooo cute! ]]> Thu, 01 May 2008 18:55:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16850&PID=372027&title=names-for-privates#372027 <![CDATA[Names for privates? : Help me out here, until now Hannah...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16850&PID=372017&title=names-for-privates#372017 Author: busymum

Help me out here, until now Hannah has basically had a "front bottom" and a "back bottom". Now DH wants to take her to the next step but he's teaching her that the front is called the vagina. I don't want her to start coming out with random "touching my vagina" comments that could get taken the wrong way! What do you teach your girls to call their "front bottoms"?]]> Thu, 01 May 2008 18:48:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16850&PID=372017&title=names-for-privates#372017
