Privates

So here we are, seven months later. I decided awhile ago that I don't really need TWO blogs to capture memories like the ones I intended for here so I've been trying to write them on the other one. The problem is that I'm having some issues w/....hard to explain...so I need to use this blog again...at least for awhile.

So...we've been having some interesting conversations and situations involving private parts. Our boys have had super dry skin this winter and despite adding pellets to the water softener (we've always had one downstairs, but never chose to use it before now) and lotioning them down after every bath, they've STILL had itchy (they call it scratchy) skin on their bottoms. A few weeks ago an hour or so after putting them to bed we heard Dallen cry out, "Mom! I can't sleep because my penis won't stop itching!" I don't have one of those and I wasn't really sure if this is normal or not. Itch it? Air it out? Lotion? I don't know.

Since then Dawsen has also been claiming an itchy penis fairly often. My favorite was looking for a shirt for Terron in the men's section of Ross (surrounded by men) when Dawsen screamed (or at least it felt like a scream), "My penis itches so bad! Help me, Mommy! It itches!" To which Dallen had to add that his was also itching at the moment. All the men were either smiling or laughing right out loud.

Last week at McDonalds Dallen was chasing Dawsen around in the tip top of the playland pretending to spank him. Dawsen yells out from the very top, into a very echoey room might I add, "Mom! Dallen won't stop touching my privates!" The chase went on with occasional cries from Dawsen, "stop touching my privates, Dallen!" Oh dear. I'm six months pregnant and completely unable to climb to the top to have a chat with them, nor am I going to yell my rebuke in front of EVERYONE. They finally came down and we had a pow wow.

Dawsen has also figured out that when he and his bro are wrestling the private parts will get a surrender every time. Not fair and definitely against the rules, but it does get a quick reaction. When the boys are bathing together and Dallen's head is all soaped up w/ closed eyes, Dawsen also thinks it's funny to try poking the unexpecting Dallen's privates. Again totally against the rules. Unfortunately the problem is still in process of being solved, but alas...

What IS IT with boys and privates?

Loving these boys.

Oh my gosh, Crystal, I am SO glad we both have boys. Because there is just something about them that is SOOO funny. WE are starting to have conversations like this quite frequently. I don't know what to do!! But the Ross story is hilarious. Embarrassing, but so so funny. :)Glad to hear it's a boy thing and not just my kiddo!
