The talk

So the other day Arianna and I were snipping beans at the table and it was just the 2 of us. I had noticed some "changes" lately in her so I thought it would be a good time to have "the talk" with her.

So I mentioned that I had noticed some changes going on with her body and she says to me:
"I've noticed that too mom!" and then she asked me what they were for.
I explained that when she got older and married and had a baby that she would feed the baby with them.
Her response:
"So I'll be like a cow!"

It actually went very well, it wasn't awkward and she was very receptive. So we have the changes in our bodies and monthly issues done with.
Phew- 1 down (well partly- I didn't go into how the babies get in there yet) 1 to go!

ROFL, Mooooowwwwww, have fun with the next subject. I had to explain to my oldest daughter, but the next two sort of told me about it in all their innocense.

Ok, so not ready for that one. Sounds like she did really well though.

Hi!

I bookmarked your blog a week or two ago whenever I saw that you were at least interested in trying to do Angela @ Refresh My Soul's 'grace' Bible study. (Right now, I can't remember if you were one of the ones who said she wouldn't have time but wishes she did.) Anyway, I like to know how people come to my blog, so that's why I'm doing all of this 'rambling.' :)

How old is Arianna? I have two girls ages 8 and 6. I keep thinking I need (and want) to have the "talk" with my 8 year old, but it hasn't been the 'right' time... yet. So, thank you for sharing this with us. (My daughter already knows about breastfeeding but not about having a period.)
