Bifocals and baby bottles. The tale of two "older" parents raising two very spirited little girls. Home | Profile | Archives | Friends
Are we crazy to take on parenting at our age? I got into this mommyhood thing late in life, in my 40s. My brave (i.e.crazy) husband has already raised four children, and he wants to do it all over again.

Mama's boobies!January 28, 2008

Sienna is a quirky little thing.  Sometimes she does stuff that is devilish, but she's so sweet and innocent looking that it's hard to tell if she's intending to do something "naughty" or if she just doesn't understand what she's doing.

On Saturday I took the girls to a birthday party.  In her usual style Romy bounded into the house and dove right into the action.  Sienna held back a little.  She is much more timid than Romy, and in crowds she sometimes clings to me.  I spent part of the party carrying Sienna around.

At one point sweet little Sienna grabbed the front of my shirt, pulled it down and yelled "Mama's boobies!".  I was a little shocked.  I looked at her face to gauge her intentions.  She just beamed at me with that sunny little smile.  I said "Please don't do that Sienna.  Mama doesn't want to show her private parts to everyone.".

Sienna did it three more times.  I'm not sure what the appeal was.  She hasn't been interested in that part of my body since she stopped nursing a year and a half ago.

I doubt that anyone noticed.  But maybe if you look closely at the background of  those birthday party snapshots you'll see me, and maybe much more of me than you'd expect to.

I thoroughly investigated the pictures and dammit we missed out. However, no biggie- that's how most people act at our parties. I am certain that no one was shocked.
