"Joseph Has a Tail"

Regan got the ultimate in Diffucult Parenting Questions, this week, but I got the first, today.

I was changing diapers, had finished Elena and was working on Joseph, when I heard Elena say "Joseph has a tail." There she was looking at Joseph in all his glory and she noticed--and vocalized--that there was a structural difference between the two of them. Luckily, this one is a lot easier to explain in simple terms without the need to gloss over most of the details. I just told her what it was, that he has it because he's a boy and she has something different because she's a girl, and that's where he goes pee pee. "Ok." And that was it. I'm not looking forward to Regan's question, though. That's going to take research and practice before I'll be comfortable with the answer I'll have to give. Sigh... Our children grow up so fast.
