Ds3 saw the before and after of DD3m being born, including the the umbical cord still attached to her bellybutton. �I can imagine what he's going to tell someone in school some day. �I told him, "mamma's going to make a baby in the bathtub in the doctors office". And he saw it was true.
When I changed the baby's first diaper his eyes got very big and his jaw dropped. �He asked me, "where's his pe-pe?". We talked about a he and a she. �He's still not really convinced. �He's told me recently, "but she has hair like mine and she only has nipples.". To protect my daughter's self-esteem I told her, in front of her brother, "don't worry baby. �You'll get long hair and boo-bees when you get very big like Mamma. �All babys have short hair and nipples.".�
I don't know about my own self esteem. �He told me recently thay my belly was big. �Then he told me I have another baby in there. �He asked me could he get it out because it was very big, bigger than his sister. �All I did was give him worser and worser looks at everything he said. �I was speechless.
I have two beautiful links to very detailed birth sites, one has the most up close detailed delivery pictures and the other is a video of a waterbirth. � �I showed my kid these choice pics. �He looked kind of twice at the pictures and said, that's not the bellybutton.,? �It wasn't worded in the form of a quiestion. �I didn't answer. �Now he's doubtful of his observation and thinks maybe it really was the bellybutton. �He's only sure it came out of Mamma. I had originally planned to have the hubby and ds in the room with me but the labor was too hard this time and I needed peace.�He's not pressing me for an answer and I really think I've let him know more than most parents, even though we've never hinted at how they got there and I shamelessly censor on that part. �
About intimacy he recently asked me to "touch tongues". �I told him, "We don't do that with friends and family. �When you get very big and have a girlfriend that's when you do it." �Guess mamma's been watching too many chick-flicks at the house. �Oops. �In my defense, he might have seen teenagers at the mall.
