It's been done, it was painless, we survived, there were no surprises, no one seems to be emotionally scarred, in fact things are pretty much normal...
Yep, I sat Ashley down and had the first "birds and the bees" talk with her. Just the introductory basic stuff, with a few very scientific anatomy drawings.
Of course, I realized that I can't just do a huge information dump on her and expect any of it to sink in---this was just Round 1, we definitely have got a few more rounds to go as she gets older.
Oh the fun. =) I have found the American Girl books to be helpful as my girls have grown older. Care and Keeping of You is one in particular that covers a lot of "growing up" kind of stuff in a fun way.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip, I am definitely going to check out the book.
