The Oh So Important Body Part

The penis. With two and a half years old and and six months old boys our world pretty much revolves around it. We talk about it, we touch it, we tug on it, we pee with it, we look at it, and we compare it.

Wyatt has recently found his and I'm grateful for that. It means he will lie on the bed quietly for a few minutes. He holds it, he pulls it, tugs it, twists it, and tries to get it in his mouth. Alas, it won't reach. It's like a little beacon...off goes the diaper and no matter what Wyatt is looking at or doing, one hand immediately shoots down to his penis. It's quite a sight to see.

Carter is at a whole new level with his penis. Now that we are potty learning, we see it a lot more. And familiarization hasn't worn our admiration down any. Carter has started to compare his penis to that of others. Granted, he doesn't see many. In fact, he's only seen three. His papa's, his brother's, and the horse's penis.

After studying Wyatt's closely: Wyatt has a teeeeny tiiiinnny penis. Carter has a BIIIIGGGG penis.

After studying papa's somewhat surreptitiously: Papa has a BIG penis. Carter has a little penis.

After studying the horse's penis: Wanna touch it? (Okay.) It's black? (Yup, his skin is black, so his penis is black.) It's a little bit pink? (That's where he goes pee.) Wanna touch it again? (Okay.) Concerto has a REALLY BIGGGGGG penis. Carter has a teeeeny tiiiinnnny penis. (He will no doubt find himself in therapy over this in a few years!)

Carterisms - Compilation 1

No explanations needed:

Mama: Carter should we buy mickey mouse ears at Disneyland?
Carter: Have to take Carter's ears off first?
Mama: No, you can keep your ears.
Carter: Okay, yeah.

Carter, do you want to go to the tidepools? NO! Do you want to go to the beach? NO! Do you want to see the carousel? NO! What do you want to do then? GO POO POO!

Carter unpacking his books at the hotel: ...."and llama llama came on vacation, and puppy came on vacation, and panda bear panda bear came on vacation, and caterpillar came on vacation too!"

Carter " Wanna nurse on papa." Me "OK, can you?" Carter "No. Very little tiny boobs. Broken (shakes head sadly). Wanna fix 'em. Get Carter some glue" Me (Thinking oh how I wish we could!)

"Boys. A lot of boys. Running around and crashing." - Summary of today's Super Bowl by Carter, 28 months.

Carter just marched into the kitchen with his "It's Potty Time" book and said, "wanna read the propaganda book." Oops, must watch what I say!

Carter: Carter go to Katie's baby shower with mama?
Me: No, honey, boys aren't allowed.
Carter: Carter be quiet. Carter not loud. Katie have a quiet party.

Carter gave me a big hug and shouted "I love mama's boobs, thank you, don't touch 'em!". Is this really the conversation he and I have on a daily basis...

And at the end of Christmas, Carter had a poo poo and could be heard shouting, "Papa it won't flush...get the plunger!" A magical end to a magical day!

Carter went to see Santa at mommy's work. When 3 nice ladies asked him if Wyatt was his baby brother he replied, "He eats the boob." Humph.

Santa: "What do you want for Christmas?" Carter: "To go outside." Guess we will have to let him out of his cage now that our secret is out!

I got out of the shower, Carter patted my bottom and said "mama's body parts, yay!" I love this kid!

I apparently have difficulty decorating gingerbread men...I put the last "button" on the little guy and Carter pointed and said "penis!". Well, I guess that's why they are called gingerbread MEN!

Carter, what do you want for breakfast? "Tofu and grapes." Breakfast is served.

Carter went excitedly into his own bed last night. I tried to prep him...Carter, if you wake up and need mama or papa, what do you do? "Carter be sad" (and then he signed 'cry' ). Broke our hearts!

2 year old's question of the day: Little scarecrow girl toot out her bottom? (I was a bit stumped on that one.)
