It is time to start using terms for body parts with DD. What do you use, have you heard used for:

vagina
penis
breasts

? We are not sure what to use with our children, so I thought I'd ask you bumpies. Tongue Tied

Vagina, penis, breast. My friend uses the more "oprah" slang and I am not into it.

We just say vagina and penis. Breasts are a little different though- I mean little girls don't have breasts yet, and boys never really do.............we call those "buttons" LOL Big Smile

We say vagina and penis. We say nipples to DS since he doesn't have breasts.

We use the proper names for them. I can't stand using cutesy names for things like that. After all- you would NEVER think of going around calling your thumb your "winky" would you?

Why is everyone naked in your ticker?

If you can have a naked ticker, then you can woman up and use the proper terms. We use: vagina, penis, and boobs. In DD's case, I say chest, not boobs. She knows I have boobs.

We use proper anatomy terms. Although DD doesn't say "vagina" correctly so she has a "China."

I have a DS so we use penis. If I had a DD I'd use vagina. I say boobs though....I can't bring myself to say breast in any real situation, kind of like moist. Makes me giggle.

We use penis, vagina, breasts (although to be honest we have yet to actually teach the word vagina to DS - it just hasn't come up).

We call his butt his "tush" - that's about it for cutesy.

I use proper terms. MH? He came up with "ticka ticka" for penis. I am not a fan, but the damage is done. Could be much much worse, so this is not a battle I choose to fight.

vagina, penis, testicles, breasts (sometimes boobies), nipples, tushy. We vary testicles with 'balls' and DH's fav: nutsac. The one time we had to discuss his, um, anus, we said, "oh, your poop hole, it's called an anus."

Ha! I never noticed that they were all naked. I actually had to look to see what you were walking about! I guess we're ok with nudity.

Good point on the chest. I have been using proper terms, but some family members looked at me funny and made comments recently, so it made me wonder...

Yeah - "buttons" was DH's brainchild. I have boobs, but the kids and DH have buttons, ah well.
