As I have stated in before posts, William is like a sponge ready to absorb information. He is asking questions and remembers every detail of the answer that you give him and brings it up again at a later time. For instance, he has a running list of things that we need to get at the store, which he'll bring up everyday until we go to the grocery store. I swear, this kid remembers everything!
Lately he's been curious about anatomy... I have decided to handle this by calling everything what it's really called. No substitute names. We have had a wide range of questions and discussions. From what it is to why doesn't Lily have one to boys have this and girls have that to what is inappropriate to do. We talk about it everyday. Anytime he changes underwear or goes to the bathroom.. there it is! We need to discuss! I'm sorry to say too that if he knows you, we've talked about whether you're a boy or a girl and what you have and what you don't have.
Is this normal? Have I just totally created a monster by answering his questions? Does every kid do this or is it just boys? Or just my boy? If it is normal, when does it stop? Does it ever stop?
It's not all he talks about, but it is pretty much a daily topic... right up there with our ever increasing grocery list.

In my opinion, I think it's just boys. I mean, I do know girls are curious, but the levels are all different. Raven is grossed out about anything that has to do with the body, where (I'm sorry to say) as you know...Tessa begs to take showers with everyone! haha I think it'll pass or at least suppress a bit so that YOU aren't the one he goes to about it! haha
I have no idea! Thanks for the heads up though...I have a feeling we'll be hitting that stage soon. I tell Nate that girls wear bows and boys wear baseball hats...it works for now. I've also thought of when he asks "what's the difference between girls and boys?" to tell him girls grow up to be mommies and boys grow up to be daddies! :) lol we'll see
