Vanoona

It's been a long time since my last post, but something important has happened...Sophie has learned about her vagina. Here's how it went down:

[in the bathroom. Sohpie is on the potty.]

me: wipe in the front, please

[sophie looks confused and wipes erratically]

me: in the front

her: on my bottom

me: no, you wipe your bottom when you poop. when you go pee pee you wipe the front.

[sophie looks confused]

me: do you know what the front is called?

her: no

me: it's your vagina

[sophie mouths the word, trying to commit it to memory]

me: girls have vaginas. do you know what boys have?

her: yes

me: what?

her: a vanoona

Later that night, when she went to the bathroom before bed, she told me, "I'm going to wipe my little vagina!" Then she asked me if I had a big vagina. Both she and Ava were almost 9.5lbs, so I might've said, "Yes...thanks for that." But instead I told her that I have a "grown up vagina." That satisfied her.

The next day, she went to school talking about her Vacona. I warned her teacher, but nothing came of it.
