Here's an excerpt: Froggy looked down. "Oops!" cried Froggy. "I forgot to put on my pants!" Oh, you just have to read it. The excerpt doesn't do it justice.

And this applies both for kids and their elders:) You should just be proud you raised babies comfortable with their bodies and hope you can keep it that way.

Wow, you guys are good. I did look at it online, and there's definitely a lot happening in there. Honest reaction: I found myself questioning whether I was cool enough to expose my little girls to the book - though I felt I wouldn't have any hesitance if I had a son. It's good to see people who have what you have and are comfortable having it. My kids run around plenty saying "boys have weens!" (I don't remember how this term developed in our household, but it's stuck). I've got to read it cover to cover now!Lauri Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15714245926405732068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6953622313060163187.post-22568999745229579992014-09-26T09:38:57.816-04:002014-09-26T09:38:57.816-04:00I know, I know!

I'll rectify this dreadful situation!! :) <br /><br />(Donna - I won't tell you that I'm president of the local fly preservation society, but please be kind to Fly Guys! jk)Lauri Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15714245926405732068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6953622313060163187.post-43231776032479361012014-09-25T17:31:46.815-04:002014-09-25T17:31:46.815-04:00Should have read One Naked Baby earlier.

Now, they're all about picking their own outfits.) Jennifer J.

This is not something that's meant to be dirty or inappropriate, but there are people who see EVERYthing as inappropriate. Now, I happen to be a pretty conservative person and see many things as inappropriate that a LOT of people see as "just fine" in today's society, so me saying this really says something about how ridiculous people can be! lol I mean, those are the type people I would suspect would call Animal Rights knowing that I'm sitting here waiting for the annoying fly in my room to light on something so I can WHACK it! lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6953622313060163187.post-37360800981834952992014-09-24T17:53:49.030-04:002014-09-24T17:53:49.030-04:00C'mon Lauri - you've gotta add http://debb...C'mon Lauri - you've gotta add http://debbieohi.com/naked to the line up!Cathy Ballou Mealeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07925815654400078026noreply@blogger.com
