Corporeal Discovery
Tonight I was preparing Aiden for bed. As he sat on the toilet he looked down, and pointing, told me, “I have an owie on my chest.” I told him that, no, it is not an owie, and I gave him the proper term. He nodded and whispered, “Nipple…”, just to test how it felt on his tongue. Then, pinching first on the right side of his chest and then the left Aiden proudly declared, “I have nipples!” Then a beat and he asked, “Daddy has nipples, too?” I confirmed the fact, and he was quite pleased with his new knowledge.
