I was totally not prepared to go through the birds and bees with Linn. I know that Nicke has been telling her ‘Boys have penis and girls have vagina’ part but I wasn’t expecting her to fully understand.

Just the other day, she stood naked next to me and poked my breasts. She proudly said ‘We are Girls..we are the same’ and she proceeded to point at the groin and said ‘Boys have this long thing that shoots out’. After that, she insisted that we go to Jon, pull down his pants to examine his ‘thing’. My immediate reaction is that she cannot pull down boys’ pants to look at their ‘thing’.

I will have to explain to her that these are PRIVATE parts. Thanks to Anan’s mum who came to visit us with Anan on Saturday. She told me that she explained to her kids that only mummy and daddy are allowed to touch these parts…no one else can without permission. I think that is a good idea…so now, i will find some ways to tell her.

How time changed. I don’t think my own mum ever told me anything about the birds and the bees.
