Yesterday while I was changing a particularly stinky diaper (Honor says “Poopoo, uuk”), Eden discovered the difference between girls and boys. She said, “Mom Honor has a sore” as she pointed to his penis.

This is where it gets kind of tricky. I don’t want my kids to be the ones who go around to all their friends and inform them of their body parts and their functions. But I also don’t want my kids to be learning about things of this nature from their friends. I guess the way I view it is that if I’m the one who wants to educate my kids, then I need to make sure I’m the first one on the job.

So I told her, “Girls and boys have different peepees. Honor has a penis.”
She said, “A penis?”
I replied, “Yes, and you have a vagina.”
Her response, “Oh.”

And that was that.
