dd upset when looking at her 'flower' please dont laugh

[nailpolish]

please dont laugh

dd1 (2.5 yrs) was in the nude after bathtime last night on my bed and was sitting up, inspecting her 'flower', which is fine.

but she suddenly started crying (loads of tears!) when she saw the 'middle bit' and was horrified and said 'mummy ive got a willy'

i couldnt calm her down for ages

it was awful

she is still talking about it today, and i went to give her a clean nappy and she said 'dont look at my willy' 'am i a boy mummy' upset all over again

my dd just discovered her 'loulou' after her bath this evening (she's 21 months).

Funny story my Dad and Brother in the bath for the first time. Brother to Dad what's those big things behind your pee pee Dad? Dad "That's where your pee is before you pee" Brother "Dad you must be bursting to go!"

Or me age 2 asking my Gran in a crowded room if she had fur on her fanny?

Still don't know what to call DD's bit? Call them girlie bits just now!

@ clitoris!!!

[Gumdrop]

I know, I ROFL when I heard about it, much to friend's disgust!

[noddyholder]

when my ds was about 3 he saw dp in the bathroom and started screaming I don't want a beard on my willy!He soon forgot about it though

[nailpolish]

omg gumdrop!!!!! had to LOL at that one

[Gumdrop]

Had a friend who decided that she would be very correct terminology with the flowery bits, nothing embarassing in the real names etc.....

She was, however, mortified, when dd1 (3 +1/2) announced to Tesco's queue "Rubbing my clitoris makes me feel nice, Mummy"............

I remember the kid I babysat running around at about three going 'I've got a peeeeenis penis penis PENIS...see!!' that is also funny. But your DD isn't, poor love!

[nailpolish]

aaarrrggghhh! youre confusing me now

flower or vagina flower or vagina.......

[Kayleigh]

nailpolish at "you have to go down on all fours for the hard to reach bits"

[nailpolish]

good point kayleigh. vagina is not a offensive word or anything. thanks

[FastasleepTheInsomniac]

I giggled at your pubes.....and I definately just giggled at the toilet story!

[TrophyWifeWasNnosam]

i would just say thats its part of her 'flower' too. and leave it till shes quite a bit older. or you might get her shouting in the shops, 'i got a v, like my mates dd did at 3 yrs.

[Kayleigh]

don't think you can go wrong with "vagina" nailpolish. It's anatomically correct and I don't think it's a good idea for kids to call their bits names that other kids or adults don't understand.
Leads to misunderstanding and possible teasing.

[nailpolish]

i dont think i will ndp, she didnt ask

[coldtea]

All this talk of hair reminded me of a very funny story.

My sisters friend had cleared her hairbriush of hair & thrown it down the toilet without flushing it. Her 3yo dd then went in to have a wee & announced "mummy your 'mini' is in the toilet"

[nailpolish]

ndp you were giggling at my pubes????!!!!

[NomDePlume]

I wouldn't, I'd just tell her that it's part of her 'flower' no need to get graphic with her, IMO.

[nailpolish]

kayleigh ive had a brazilian, you have to go down on all fours for the hard to reach bits

never again

[NomDePlume]

I was giggling at the pubes stuff rather than your DD's reaction btw, np.

[nailpolish]

another question do you think i should tell her what it is? or give it a name? shes only 2........

[FastasleepTheInsomniac]

...Shaving is nicer......well I did say my mum put me off furry things for life!
