    Great post! FYI – My Nanna referred to "IT" as a "cookie", lol….

    You're lucky that she's JUST now asking those questions! My 3yo (almost 4, he likes to tell me often) noticed a few months ago that Mommy doesn't have the same "parts". My husband and I have agreed that we will "keep it real", so when he asked me "Mommy, where is your penis?" I non-chalantly explained to him that Mommy was a girl and that girls have vaginas. I tried to not making it too terribly "exciting", and more matter-of-fact, since he's still so young.

    I will tell you that I broached that subject with some trepidation because as all mommy's and daddy's can attest, there's not much of a filter on a 3yo! Luckily he's still working on enunciation, so when he'd blurt out his new found knowledge in the middle of the store, my hope is that others around didn't quite "catch" his question/statement. It made me think of the movie Kindergarten Cop with Arnold Schwarzenegger!

    Good luck and I look forward to hearing about future conversations!

      Yes, my daughter really hasn’t begun answering questions until now about it, which is kind of weird because my son was asking questions much earlier! You made some good points as well. Thanks for reading and commenting.

    I think this is a great post and it really made me think about how I address things with my daughter. I actually do use pet names such as "private parts". And not so much because I'm afraid of giving her the real name, but my 8 year old is very intelligent for her age and any parent knows that this is the age when everything you say to them is repeated—to everyone. I just don't want her to be the kid that educates all the other little girls on their "vagina". Not at 8 years old anyway.

    I think we should be telling the kids the actual names of their body parts, but in a fun way. Not too serious because they easily catch on that, and eventually will start thinking it is a taboo topic to talk about. I have a 6 year old daughter who's also at the stage of asking a lot of questions. The other day we were looking at my photos when I was pregnant with her. She asked me how she got into my tummy,… did I eat her? I was lost for words even though that sounded funny. http://missjane101.blogspot.com

      Speaking of the sex talk, I am preparing for that. I know we will have to discuss it soon. I am so not ready for it. :(
