Name that body part

Carsten is in this stage, and has been for a while now, where he wants you to name EVERYTHING... a million times. He points to something and looks at you as if to say, "What's this?" After you name it, he repeats the whole routine about 10 times... just to make sure he has a good handle on what it is. He is running out of obvious things to point at, so he points at the most random things... like a pot hole in the street that is filled with black tar... or the little strips of wood in the sidewalk or driveway... or the top of the lid to some water pipe in the sidewalk that is painted blue... What the hell??!! I don't even know what to call these things.

For a while now... like since he was in the womb (we have pictures to prove it) he has been very interested in his penis. Duh, he is a man after all. This kind of thing is in the genes. If he is naked his hand is almost constantly pulling, tugging, or squeezing it. Danyel and I are always worried that he is so rough with it that he is going to do permanent damage. Last week he started pointing at it. He finally realized that his favorite play thing probably has a name, too. We decided to call it a "Pee-pee"... cute, yet accurate enough. The pee-pee has become worthy of the double point... both hands angled down towards it pointing while he looks at us in anticipation waiting for us to say "Pee-pee".

This weekend he was into the body part naming game... the nose, eyes, ears, mouth, and of course, the pee-pee. He gets so excited waiting for me to ask "Where's your pee-pee?" that most of the time he just skips over all the other parts and goes straight for the good stuff. "Screw all the boring stuff guys! Look! Here's my johnson!"
