*peepees & yoohoos revisited*
This comment thread on Music City Bloggers reminded me of a post I wrote last year about cutesy names for body parts.
Pea is older now, and very verbal, and I don’t regret using grown-up words at all. Not even during the near daily speeches about how Pop has a penis and Alex Pudl has a penis, too. Not even when she got under her rocking horse and reported to her grandparents that it had a vulva. Those words are right for us — but as in most parenting matters, your mileage may vary.
It wouldn’t be fair to mention any of this without saying that I got a steroid shot in my ass today and described it to Pea (and David!) as "a pokey in my bum." So there you go.
Have you seen that the discussion has veered toward Santa Claus? Not about whether or not he’s anatomically correct, more of a “how I was raised” discussion. So. Weird.
Hope your pokey in your bum spot feels better today!! And technically…it was your gluteous maximus ;-P
