The tongue issue

I blame most of the naughty things Norah picks up on nursery. This could be totally false, but in most cases it's what makes most sense. Her current bad habit is sticking her tongue out at people. My quick fix is to slap some soap on that tongue. It seems to have made quite the impression on her and she's now very emotional about the whole tongue-sticking-out issue. In fact, yesterday morning she started to stick her tongue out at me and I gave her "the look" and she was reduced to a bucket of tears. Clayton has recently discovered his tongue so today Norah went into classic big sister mode and simultaneously started scolding him and tattling on him. And the icing on the cake? She also found a photo booth picture of Jason and me and of course I have my tongue out in one of the frames. She showed it to Jason and demanded he put soap on my tongue. Oy.

Anatomy

Today while Norah was helping me bathe Clayton, she (finally) noticed that he is, ahem, different from her in certain areas. "Uh oh mommy, what happen Clayton?" she asked, very confused. "What's wrong? What is it?" she asked as she attempted to use a washcloth to remove his boy parts. I carefully tried to explain that Clayton is a boy and is anatomically different from Norah because she is a girl. I'm not sure she understood because as I explained, she continued to try and fix her brother.

Norah is very aware that Clayton is too little to do many things, specifically, eat "big kid" foods. Her response if you pretend to feed him or ask if he wants what the rest of us are eating is, "No, Clayton's too little. Clayton eats nipple."
