UM MMMMM MMMM ok....really.....well....right now???? I think I have somewhere I have to be right now.....no really.
Just Kidding I am the one who brought the conversion up. Nathan and I were watching a television show with her something about a wedding dress in Atlanta. I don't know the name of the show...but she could spout out the name I am sure...it's on TLC. Anyway a commercial for a new show coming on this fall about teenagers going to high school with their babies. My daughter with eyes like saucers turns to us and asks how did thoses girls get babies in high school?
That's when we knew we had to have a conversation right away! So I have been putting it off just a little bit. I asked her earlier this week if she knew how mommies got babies? She said "Mommies and Daddies kissing and I have not done that yet" and blushed deeply.
Poor little thing...I asked if she had heard anything at school about sex or messing around or anything like that? Nope! No! What does that mean?
So we are going to give the very basic info to keep it very simple...I want to keep her ahead of misinformation.
I also am taking the time to remind her that she needs to keep her body good and clean and put on deodorant. She also needs to be educated on warning signs of infections in her girl body...now that I don't bathe her I can't make sure she is clean and free of infection...if she get's yeast infection she has to be able to spot that on her own now.
Lastly I need to make her aware of the hazards of predators that would abuse her naive nature to get what they want and break my little girls heart in the process. It happens and far to often it is the young lady from the good Christian home that is caught off guard because mom and dad have done a poor job of educating her for the real world. I hope that we can mix our Christian values with common expectations and keep her safe and Chaste.
She's a good girl and head smart...head strong and open-hearted I just hope that combination will keep her safe.
