What To Call Your...uh..."Hoo Hoo"

We try to avoid speaking baby talk in this house, but our avoidance techniques were recently challenged when you discovered your "woman part." Somewhere between "Vagina" and "Hoo Hoo" lies a word that we can teach you which would be acceptable by society but not baby talk.

Vagina would be OK, but it's slightly too clinical and you probably wouldn't be able to say it (You can't even say Daddy yet properly - but Dada will suffice for now). We also know a whole slew of vulgar terms such as Steak Drapes and Sugar Walls, but we don't want CPS to show up at our door quite yet.

So, after much deliberation - and by deliberation I mean a 2 second conversation - we decided upon "Coochie." Our friend Tynna taught her daughter "coochie" and it is very cute when she says it, so we went for it as well.

Now when we're changing you, you immediately grab your coochie and yell out, "Tucci!" Not perfect, but hey, it's better than "hoo hoo."
