Like most preschoolers, Brennan is very interested in the difference between the sexes. We use the correct anatomical language for body parts so he knows that he has a penis. Lately he's asked us to draw pictures of everyone in his family and/or those important to him.
After I drew all six of us, Michael, "Soft Puppy," Cookie Monster and Elmo, he asked that we draw penises on all the boys. There was some question about Cookie Monster and Elmo but all the others males got something like a penis drawn on them. (I know....sounds weird but a parent's gotta do what a parent's gotta do.) Then he asked about bottoms and stated "Mommy doesn't have a penis but she has a bottom." I confirmed that information. He then said "Mommy doesn't have a penis. Mommy has a pajama."
Gonna have to work on that terminology.
