Evalyn is getting very curious about her body parts. As I was changing Judah's clothes, she pointed to his chest and said "what are those, mom?" Not being quite ready for this conversation, I decided to answer honestly. "Those are nipples, honey." She then lifts up her shirt and says, "I have nipples too!" "Yes, you do" I answer. She then asks, "Do you have nipples, mom?" "Ummmmmm, yeah." "Can I see them?" "Ummmmm, NO." I could hear her father in the kitchen laughing at our anatomy conversation, and I am sure he was glad to have avoided this one!
Along with the whole nipple conversation, I just thought of another funny story. I watch two other children during the week, and the little girl is very curious about nursing. She has lots of questions when I am feeding Judah, and I never realized how much she paid attention to it (she is only 2 after all!). One day, she was getting ready to go, and her mom and I were chatting. She came to sit beside me and told me she wanted to hold Judah. I sat him in her lap, and then watched as she lifts up her shirt and brings him close to her. "He's hungry!" I had to run and get my camera so I did get a picture of that priceless moment....
