I was thinking that I had to post something today since I was gone for a week, but then I realized that it’s not September until tomorrow. And my parting words were, “see you in September.” BUT I already had an idea for a quick post and I may as well do it. Plus – I need a Monday’s Muse post.
So here is my muse for this week: TMI from my daughter AND family nudity. I know – not really a muse…but I haven’t had much time to think about it.
As you may have known, we just drove down to Florida to visit some of Chris’ family and ended up at his Uncle’s beach house in Long Boat Key (outside of Sarasota). On the way, we visited some barbecue places for Chris (he just loves his pulled pork), and captured some of it on film (disc? memory chip?) for his food blog. He’s been posting these little vlogs all of last week – some about the food, but most just bits and pieces of us at the beach and pool.
You can see all of them HERE – but the one he put up yesterday was a little shocking. Before I get to that though, I’d like to announce that my daughter is far worse than her brothers when it comes to the potty talk. She absolutely delights in telling you she farted and nearly dies of ecstasy when she can point out that someone else did. Seriously – if I shift the wrong way on a leather chair, she’ll scream, “mommy FURTED!” I’m just waiting for her to do this to one of us in public…
She is also all about what’s going on under the diapers, and has been proudly pointing out her business (which she calls her “kiki” – something she must have picked up at daycare) for a few months now. Just I’ve been waiting for her to start talking about her brothers’ business…
Well – that finally happened today. And all morning I’ve been answering the same questions about the boy’s anatomy:
Eleanor: Mommy – does Oliver have a PEE-NAHS?
Me: Yes. Because Oliver is a boy.
Eleanor: Mommy – does George have a PEE-NAHS?
Me: Yes. Because George is a boy.
Eleanor: Mommy – does Oliver have a PEE-NAHS?
And on and on and on. Another conversation I’m not looking to coming up in public. I’m sure it will be something like, “Mommy – you FURTED! And George has a PEE-NAHS!”
But enough about furting and pee-nahses. Want to see something really shocking? Visit Chris’ blog HERE to see some nudity.
Don’t forget to grab a button and add your Monday’s Muse link over at Cinnamon & Honey every Monday!
Little kids are so funny, lol.
She'll be saying it all the time soon, I"m sure. Maybe she'll teach those daycare folks the right words to use too! Saw the video – it was GREAT!
Just wait until she discovers that "Kiki" is the perfect peekaboo partner.
Welcome back :).
FURTS and PEE-NAHSES. Sounds like a great name for a rock band!
Great muse!

too cute!! i think kids are the same all over the world. ok don´t want to freak you out, but daniel still finds potty humour hysterical… and he´s 14… besos-jane
Did you go to Siesta Key beach? I love it there!
I've spent a few summers in south GA. I would have been mad if someone snapped my picture while I was driving topless…
Hehe…don't you love how kids embarrass us?? I hope for your sake she doesn't say it in public! ;)
It's adorable at this age when they go around singing and chatting about penis, but oh, don't you have fingers crossed that she outgrows the interest during the crucial years!
Loved the video, btw. The kids are adorable!
Oh my goodness, what a riot :)
Wait until you get to explain menstruation in a public restroom stall.
And the conversations are only going to become more inquiring (so I've heard)! Very funny.
the things that my kid has in public that I wanted to die over are just too numerous to name
Oh—-my son would love her! He laughs so hard whenever his dad farts or burps—-so I always thought it was a "guy" thing! Guess not… :)
Funny—my word was der-wini! heh, heh.
Ummmm….if you thinks it gets better as they reach adulthood, you're seriously mistaken and you smell like a furt…
I used to pretend that they were saying "peanuts" when they said it in public. I still looked like an idiot.
Oh my….I feel your pain. I am not a mom, but I have been a nanny in the past and it seems there's no way to avoid these rites of passage.Funny!
You had me at nudity.
The worst for us is that the 3yr old girl mimics everything her 6yr old brother does and says.
"Butt-Butt" x2
"Oops, GAS!" x2
And don't get me started on the burbing which my son can do on command and daughter tries to do. Sigh.
I swear, they find the one or two most obnoxious words and won't let them go!!!!
This is in my future, isn't it? Oh golly.
