Calvin's New Fish

Since we're at a stall at potty training and sharing, we thought we'd teach Calvin "The Responsibility of Taking Care of Something". Something else we've tried to incorporate into our parenting is calling things by their anatomically correct names. I only do this because my mom was in college biology when she found out the scientific term for vagina wasn't "toocas". Of course the trick is to not laugh or act like it's a big deal when we use these words. Calvin went to the store, picked out his fish, helped put together his new fish home, and named him. Say hello to Calvin's new fish: Boob.
***update: the fish is now named Steve. Cory came home and rescued the situation.**

We tried this with Elyott...until she started calling her vagina her VIBRA. Then it just sounded like some freaky pet name from a creepy uncle Leo. So...we went back to the simple (less confusing) "front bum"

Carolyn you're a genius. We're now going to refer to boobs as "front back fat".
