A&P

Sophia, Laura and I were laying on the bed yesterday talking and playing. Out of the blue Sophia began this conversation:

"Daddy, are you a boy?"
"Yes, I am," I replied.
"Mommy, are you a girl like me?"
"Yes," Laura said.

I saw the teaching moment unfold and continued the dialogue:

"Sophia. Boys have ..."
"Penis!" she exclaimed.
"That's right. And girls have ..."
"Toots!" she proudly announced.

And then she doubled over in laughter. As did we.

Sounds like Sophia's ready to be inducted in the GASB. Just kidding, but when she really IS ready, let me know. I'll get her a t-shirt with her name on it. :)

Sadly, I wish more parents would spend that much time talking to their kids about sex and sexuality. Nice job recognizing and going after the teaching moment. Keep looking and seizing the opportunities she gives you, she is depending on it! Great job.
