It took every bit of restraint and good judgement to not post the picture of my daughter at age two wearing my knee high boots up to her naked tush. Instead a picture of her with her cousin with their Saba.
These conversations never get old. The ones about vaginas and penises that you have with a four year old. And when you're pregnant and pretty explicit with your kids about how baby comes out, then conversation returns to this topic very often. The other day I was driving my daughter for her ear check-up and she starts in about how only girls have vaginas and only boys have penises. And our baby has a penis because he's a boy. But everyone has a butt. Then she listed everyone she knew who has a butt.
Ben has a butt.
Jonah has a butt.
Sienna has a butt.
Aba has a butt.
Mommy has a butt.
Grandma has a butt.
Shalev has a butt.
Saba has a butt.
Savta has a butt.
Saba has a butt.
Talia with the long hair has a butt.
Dr. Murray has a butt.
Aunt Jenny has a butt.
So we're all the same in the back! (her words).
How awesome is that? Why can't we all just get along since we all have butts? I'm going straight to the UN with this revelation.

and kids would know that better than anyone else -- the poor things are only half our size so they have to walk around looking at adults' butts all the time!
ha! true, aimee!
dang, i wish you'd had the courage to post the boots-and-bum pic! ;o) but i get it. i once did a post called 'naked baby alert' and believe me - it attracted some unwanted attention.
