I have no idea why or what convinced God that it was a good idea, but it appears that my daughter is, ahem, gifted in a more physical arena.
I remember being a bit amused when at the age 2, she was very curious about the body part known as nipple. She wanted the word and then she commented on them anytime my husband had his shirt off.
Since then, she has shown marked curious about the human body, particularly hers and mine. "Okay," I thought, "I just need to have the 'this is how your body develops' speech soon."
Apparently I should have had it yesterday (as in yesterday several months ago) because she is currently all about the "china" and has had more than one conversation with her young female cousin on how the china feels good when it is rubbed.
What to do, what to do.
I don't know.
For me, I didn't really think about my china until I was a teenager. Okay, maybe a fleeting thought. But I remember being in my 20's and listening to friends talking about discoveries similar to my daughter's when they were in grade school and that is so not my recollection.
Any thoughts?
I'm big on the whole, "It's normal" and fully believe that girls should get to explore their bodies every bit as much as little boys do but I really would like her to have two hands or, perhaps more aptly, not to be quite so good at the hula.
