Thanks for stopping by. I'm so glad I read this. It definitely helps me formulate my plan on what to say to my 7 YO! Jen Ws last blog post..The birds and the bees...Megan style

LOL…this was great! Good for you I am not looking forward to THE talk at all. My five year old son recently asked me what mommies have in relation to what daddies have. I just about choked and Daddy wasn’t home to pass the baton too…lol. I’m afraid that I didn’t do quite as well as you…lol! But I must have answered the question sufficiently as it didn’t come up again later.

You are my hero..hopefully I can do just as well when the time comes to educate my daughter. Sigh. Thank GOD she is only one year old!

By the way, came via WFMW…loved your post!

Visiting for the first time via WFMW.
My HS health teacher’s son went off to Kindergarten and drew a picture of the female reproductive system that the teacher thought was a reindeer. He corrected her and pointed out all the different organs in the system!

Very nice job on this. I think you covered all the bases, ha ha! I laughed with you and sympathized. I have three boys so our talks are a little different…..but they can be painful nonetheless.

Wow, I am incredibly impressed with your ability to handle such a touchy topic. Is it bad that I am glad to be having a boy so that David can field that subject the first time. Although with my luck Tucker will come to me first. You can expect a phone call that day because you handle it like a pro! And I think it’s great that you made a point to let her know that it’s not necessary for her to teach her friends. I think more parents need to stress that point.

This post brought tears to my eyes. As one who didn't get the right information from the right people, I am touched by your willingness to put YOUR discomfort aside and be the Mom and guide your daughter!! Well done. Llama Mommas last blog post..packing lunches

Oh my goodness! The other day my 5 year old asked how the babies get OUT of mommy’s tummy. I’m still thinking how to explain it. I’m guessing it’s going to be best to use actual terms. And now that she’s going to have to go to the urologist for bladder infections, pretty sure we’re going to have to talk about the V word. WHY??? WHY did I have girls??? Thanks for your post — I feel a little better.

I am going through this myself with my 9 year old daughter. Conversations have been started and abruptly stopped. She has had “the class” at school (about menstruation only). I bought her a book that discusses the changes her body is going through…I’ve caught her reading it a few times. This wasn’t easy for my mom and it’s not going to be easy for me.

You should be proud of your “dog with earrings” drawing. LOL That’s classic.
