Excuse me, are you using that dumbbell?

When PJ was just starting to eat solid foods, around 5 months old, we would plop her in the high chair so she could participate in our family dinner. Well, she wanted nothing to do with the food and everything to do with the post that shot up between her legs that was intended to keep her little body safely in the seat. She would simply stiff arm the spoon and start writhing and then her face would turn red. Yes, it was a little disturbing for a mother to watch and I promptly stopped using that chair.

At this same point in time, CT (then 2) was discovering his very own body parts. My house seemed to be highly sexed and my babies were getting a lot more action than I was. A talk with the pediatrician ensued and she assured me that my children were very normal and just exploring their bodies.

Well today, PJ has found her body again. She is very open to discussing how her bottom feels good when she lays face down and her binki is placed in just the right position. She has even found a name for her new feel good activity. She says, “I’m goin’ to do my exercises.”

Oh, how I wish my exercises felt that good!
