First "booby" talk...

Today at lunch during our playdate one of the moms was breastfeeding her newborn. Quade had the perfect vantage point from his high chair and at the time commented “booby”.
I ignored it and continued to eat my delicious lunch.

After lunch, before he went down for his nap, we were reading “Wheels on the Bus” in his room. I decided now was the time to have the “booby talk”. On one of the pages is the part about “The parents on the bus go ‘sh sh sh’.” The picture has the mom feeding the baby a bottle. Since quade is in awe of babies right now I decided to talk about this page some more: “This mommy is feeding the baby a bottle of milk. Mary’s mommy fed her baby with her booby b/c her booby had milk in it. Mommy will feed our baby milk with her booby”.

I figured the entire monologue had gone over his head.

Until he responded with: “Nina booby”!!! =) (‘Nina’ is his nickname for his Aunt 'Christina’ and quade has seen her nurse her daughter before).

So I don’t know if Quade is very perceptive, is fascinated with Christina’s boobs or if he’s seen them a lot! (she happens to be known as quite the exhibitionist around the family).

Ahh...the ole "wheels on the bus" segway. Works every time for touchy subjects. When Silas is ready for the sex talk, we'll read "The Wheels on the Bus".
