RJ's New Toy

RJ has a new favorite toy – his penis. While I was changing his diaper this morning, my sweet little baby reached down, grabbed a hold of his penis and just grinned.

I know from my friends who have kids and from Rosie that body exploration is totally normal – it is just another piece of their body to explore and play with (he already found his fingers and toes – this is just something new, right?)

As RJ tugged, pulled and played with this newly-discovered part of his body, I could help but think about professional baseball players – who, in addition to hit and field baseballs, seem to get paid to continually adjust themselves on camera.

I called Rich to tell him about his son’s latest discovery – but he was already familiar with it…and perhaps a little proud. His response? “Oh yeah – he found it last night. Couldn’t get enough of it.”

Ah, boys…it starts at the tender age of seven months and it never, ever ends…
