grooming kids

from the time kids are born we start good grooming habits, keeping fresh clean diapers and baby wipes on hand at all time, and lots of fun toys in tub to make bathtime an enjoyable experience...as their teeth come in we starting brushing teeth and hair...washing hands after using the bathroom and before meal times. and making sure you wipe you mouth on the napkin and not on your shirt...as children get old we will be faced with many more things to teach them about like deodorant, and for girls feminine products, and shaving of the armpits, legs and chin (for boys), but that will be a few years away yet for mine....so imagine my surprise when my two year old son, while in the bath last night, grabbed his play razor and was acting like he was shaving his little family jewels...hhhmmm...and as my husband and i do keep ourselves well groomed in that area, our son has never been a witness to this...so where in the world did he get it from...i was shocked, but couldnt control the histerical laughter that exited my mouth...i would much rather him first to be potty trained before shaving..LOL. this also reminded me of a similar situation with out daughter a few years ago, when she was only 3, a shaving commercial came on tv and she asked me if she would shave her chin when she got older, i said no girls shave their legs and armpits and only boys (in most cases lol) shave their chins...her and i were have the comversation but her daddy was sitting there also, she then turned to her daddy and said "daddy when i get older i will have hair on my monkey (what she calls her private area)"...yet again i thought it was hilarious but jason was mortified over it...what made her say that i dont know....it truely is scary how young kids are when they start learning things and even though these things i have talked about arent that serious and are more comical, there are many many others one that they will learn that are very serious and how will i handle it all...i have a girl and a boy so i will have to be prepared for it all...guess i need to be get myself ready now, because it will be here before i know it.
