Last weekend, I went back to the cousins' home in The Plains before flying down to Texas to close on our new home. I'd spent the afternoon with my galpal, Gina, in Old Towne Alexandria. We spent a significant amount of time in an awesome paper store aptly called "Paper Source"
I found the English translation of a very popular Japanese children's book on breasts. Yes, breasts. Boobies.
So, I got it as a gift for one of my favorite little girls, Sophia. I'll be honest: I was torn between "Breasts", "The Gas We Pass: Everyone Farts" and "Everyone Poops"... in the end, I decided to get the one that:
(1) related to a recent conversation between Sophia and dad Tim and
(2) only had ONE copy left on the shelf.
You should have seen mom Amy's face when I pulled it out to show her! (I'm secretly hoping that when our children are old enough to read, that we'll be able to find these books because they are pretty informative "for all ages.") So, if you see these books, don't pass up the chance to peruse through the pages!
UPDATE: I spoke with Amy yesterday and could hear Sophia singing a newly made-up song: "Breasts, BOO-bies, Breasts, BOO-bies" Well, you get the picture!
