Courtney Gone Wild!

She is learning about her body parts, like her nose, eyes and mouth, but she's also been interested in mine and Casey's body parts too lately. So, the other day, I was getting ready to take a shower and I had her in the bathroom playing with her toys (I was home alone, and desperate for a shower). She's seen me naked tons of time, but this time, she was really staring at boobs as if she's never seen them before. I never nursed her, so she has been pretty unfamiliar with them thus far. She grabbed by boob and said "what sa?" I told her they were mommy's Chi Chis (spanish slang for breasts). Then I showed her where Courtney's chichis were and she was absolutely enthralled with the whole idea. Ever since, she's been going around pointing to mine, Casey's, my mom's and lifting her own shirt up to show hers and chanting "chichis, chichis, chichis". It's her new favorite word! Great...

A couple of days ago, she saw Casey get out of the shower...pointed to his "you know what" and made the sound of a monkey. I'm not really sure what that was about, but it was hilarious. We are now a little more modest about Casey's nudity in front of her. It's sad that she's getting older and we have to think about those things now, but it's a reality we must face. We have to start thinking about how we want to address the subject of our bodies and sexuality with a little girl in the house. I certainly don't want her to be a prude or uncomfortable about her body, but I don't want her to be flashing random strangers either! Raising a daughter is touchy stuff! I don't want her to end up as screwed as I am about her body image.

That's my philosophizing for now.
Please see new pics below. One of Court with Casey's dad studying the racing form at the race track a couple of weeks ago. And one of her pretending to be a ghost after her bath. It's her new favorite pasttime. She actually covers her face with her towel and walks around saying boo, bumping into walls, falling down and cracking up about it. Not sure what's so entertaining about it, I always like to hear her laugh!
