We are an open kind of family. By open I mean we run around naked. Just kidding. We only run around naked when we don't have any clothes on. Our small house includes one small bathroom, so the three of us must share. It can make the morning rush of getting ready a little hectic and a little difficult to be modestly clothed at all times. There is also the open door policy - where we all use the bathroom with the door open. I guess Nate and I have always been at that level of comfortable with each other.
Typically, I shower first in the morning and put on pants after, but sometimes go topless (with bra on) until I'm done putting on make-up, etc... I know our son is 4.5 years old and he's probably getting to that age where I should be more covered. Nate and I have talked about it, but we haven't really done anything about it.
Last week while I was running around like a pole dancer, Ethan flat out pointed to my drooping chest and stated, "I really like those Mom!"
How do you respond? I was at a loss for words. Feeling inappropriate and embarrassed, I mumbled something about girls being different than boys and they were part of my body, or something? Flustered and still topless I went back into the bathroom and shared with Nate the remark Ethan had made. What was this proud Daddy's response?
"Well at least he doesn't point to my stuff and say that!"
True, but still. I'm not ready to go there and right now the only vocabulary word we use is pee-pee. That's all he needs to know at 4 years old....right?
