The Hubster, horrified by my brash truthfulness with our young son, is happy to announce that Levi has modified the word penis into peno. To encourage continued use of the word peno, The Hubster walks around the house singing peno peno peno! And Levi, thinking penises are just the coolest accessory on the planet, joins him in song.
On occasion, Levi will look at me with his big soft brown eyes, sadly shake his head and say
“oh no mama, no peno”
Yes, my son, it’s true. I have no peno of my own.
And in this time of peno discovery, Levi has discovered peno’s come in more then one size. It has blown his mind.
The Hubster was whizzing away when Levi burst into the bathroom to exam the contents of the toilet. Teetering on the verge of potty training, we both bear these bathroom break ins with good humor and regard them as talking points on potty training.
“look son, I’m putting pee pee in the potty”
Typical, Levi will either giggle nervously or just blankly stare at us as if to say,
“don’t get your hopes up, you’re going to be wiping my behind till I’m 8″
Today, while on pee patrol, he glanced up at The Hubster and was flabbergasted
“Whoa Daddy!” he exclaimed, “BIG PENO!”
I later noticed The Hubster had some extra swagger in his step. I think he took it as a compliment.
Rofl!! I have finally gotten it into my boy’s heads that I don’t have a penis like everyone else in the house. when I asked Evan what I did have instead he told me I had a bum. Lol!!
Awesome Mom’s last blog post..In case you were wondering
My son (16 months) has been staring at his Dad’s ‘peno’ since birth. Jeremiah always says, “Look Elijah, this is how big boy’s pee” then Elijah huffs out his chest and stands in front of the toilet with his hands at his crotch. So cute

amazing how little it takes to make a man swagger, eh? pun intended . . . i’m cracking myself up!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA! I’m so glad I have a girl.
My children are both obsessively in love with penises. My poor husband. It is very typical for the following statement to be made, loudly, in places like the grocery store, the mall, waiting room at our pediatrician office, “I love your penis daddy. Do you know why? I love it because it’s soft and cute and tiny.”

Wee Man thankfully wasn’t too bad at the errr Peno pointing out when he was little but man oh man now is different…. Changing Lil kiwi’s diaper and he is all about letting us know (and anyone in public) that she doesn’t have a Peno like him and Daddy…. Plus his realizing Daddy’s was bigger went about the same as Levi’s…..
Well you should have been all “Oh yeah? Well I have A GIANT VAGINA.”
That would have shut them up.
That cracked me up!
“And in this time of peno discovery, Levi has discovered peno’s come in more then one size. It has blown his mind.”
Just wait until one day when you have company over for dinner and your youngest son announces to your 7 guests “someday I’m going to have a big dink like daddy”… Your hubby will love that one…I was red in the face for the rest of dinner.
Better yet, when my oldest son was about 4 he’d just discovered the “sh” word (I’m not sure how, and if my wife asks I’m sticking to that story). Anyway we’re at a friends house, and in his politest voice possible he pipes up “Excuse me, where’s your bathroom…” brief pause and then “I have have to sh**”.
Another red-in-the-face moment for dad…
Cheers,
Trevas

Wait until your 5 year old comes to you when guests are around and says, Mom! My pee-pee is straight again! What do I do?
Ah, kids.

My three sons can’t get over the fact that I don’t have a “pee-pee” as they call it. “WOW MOM, you pee out of your BUTT,” said my two year old the other day. And my oldest, when he was younger, came into the bathroom and exclaimed in shock, “Mom – you have a beard on your butt!” Thank you sons, thank you so much.
I have the Peno song stuck in my head. This should make for an interesting afternoon.
