When I Decided To Have Children, I Never Imagined That
Jaimie on Dec 18th 2008
I would be sitting on a stool in a bathroom talking to my four year old about not yanking on his foreskin.
CJ is not circumcised. It’s a choice Matt and I made, and not one I’m big on debating either way. it is what it is.
We’ve always treated it like just a fact of existence with CJ, and just like any other part of his body, taught him how to clean/care for it. And then today CJ screams from the bathroom “MOMMY my penis HURTS!!!!!”
And lo and behold, he’d forced his foreskin back all the way and created a sore spot. Ouch.
So we had the “please don’t pull on your penis like that when it hurts” discussion. And I gave him a half-dose of tylenol, more for the psychological benefit.
And I pondered again how Matt always misses moments like these.
