I'm sure you all ...I think these plans look great! I'm sure you all are going to have a very fun year!<BR/><BR/>As far as human anatomy goes...I haven't exactly worked that out yet, either. ;) <BR/><BR/>I guess we've always been pretty straightforward with Dylan. We call body parts by their appropriate names; he bathes with his sisters, so he's aware of the anatomical differences between boys and girls; he sees me breastfeed his sister and all of my children know the natural function of breasts; and we've explained to him (I think beginning when I was pregnant with my youngest child) that God helps a tiny seed grow into a baby in the mommy's tummy, and that there is a special opening near her bottom where the baby comes out when it's born. He knows why we have belly buttons. He's fascintated by seeing pictures of fetal development, and he loves the book "Angel in the Waters". Now, as far as explaining HOW the seed is planted in the mommy to begin with...we haven't gotten that far yet, and so far, he hasn't asked. ;)<BR/><BR/>I just don't know when to explain THAT. Somehow it just doesn't seem quite right for a five year old, so I guess we'll just play it by ear. Unless he probes further, I think we'll just stick with explaining what the male and female parts are, without going into too much detail about how they...work together, so to speak.<BR/><BR/>Was that at all helpful?Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16567375902563099066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28858272.post-24912585344257965482007-07-11T10:53:00.000-05:002007-07-11T10:53:00.000-05:00That sounds great!

I suppose I should do that soon. :) <BR/><BR/>Your curriculum sounds wonderful. I can't wait to hear how it goes once the school year begins and how Katie likes everything.

Hopefully we will begin again in the fall. Let me know what you think of Story of the World.
