This past week, Jackson went to his first day of mother's day out!  He will be 18 months old on Monday.  He had a lot of fun, and I was glad he made it through the day :)

Before leaving him for the day, I mentioned to his teacher that "he is intact, so please don't retract his foreskin."  She looked at me like I had spoken in Klingon.  She had NO idea what I was talking about, lol.  So, I broke it down and spoke to her like I would speak to my four year old and said, "His penis has a foreskin - he is not circumcised - do not retract his foreskin when you change his diaper."  Her eyes got as big as saucers.  Her own son was in the classroom at the time, and I guess the word "penis" freaked her out, b/c she glanced at him in a worried manner, like I had just uttered some bad word.

Pretty sad that she still had no idea what I was talking about until the words "not circumcised" came out of my mouth.  But, at least I got the message accross, and Jackson came home unscathed.

Great post Kristi. I like the way you approached that, the words. "He's intact." then clarifying with "Not circumcised." words are an important part of the change.
