KC and I are in Atlanta for a few days, sans kids. It's very hot and humid, which I don't mind, but I miss the girls. Also, I'm a little afraid of what will happen while we're away.
Caroline, our former nanny now friend, is watching the girls overnight. I told her the vanoona story and she told me a story about how when her younger son was little he knew all the "official" terms for his genitalia. (She was a nurse in a former life.) Then she told me that one time Sophie was playing with a mirror at her house and had no pants on and discovered her lady parts.
sophie: whoa! what's that?
caroline: that's your vulva.
sophie: oh.
And that brings me to ask 2 questions:
1. Why was she "playing" with a mirror and no pants on?
2. Why "vulva"?
I don't even know the difference between a vulva and a vagina. Do we really need to distinguish it for my 4 year old? Am I going to come home to a lesson on the female anatomy compliments of Sophie?
