I tried ignoring it. Then when that didn't work (and he started shouting "PENIS" in public), I tried the whole "Penis is a special word that you ONLY use in special times..." Well, that backfired in a major way. He started throwing it in randomly at the end of sentences. For example, he would say, "Can I wear my jeans today?...penis" or "I'm thirsty....penis." He also made up a new word. Zack now says the word "pena" when he really wants to say penis, but knows he shouldn't say that word. So when you hear him screaming, "PENA, PENA, PENA...." you'll know what he's thinking.
So now I've just decided to go with the flow. I don't encourage it, and when he brings it up I either ignore him or I ask him if he has a penis (which he responds "yes, Mom! And so does Brody!). Today after I asked him that he told me I needed to go buy one since I don't have one. Not gonna lie, I laughed pretty hard at that which probably didn't do anything to discourage him from talking about it. I'm thinking if I give him permission to talk about his special area, it might lose some of the magic and he'll stop thinking about it so much. Here's to hoping!
Here are some pictures of my potty-mouth child. If you don't want any play-dates for awhile, I completely understand. :)
Zack's "bad guy" face:
Think he's tired of taking pictures?
This is a field by our house. It looked so pretty tonight.

ha ha! I love it. Madison was obsessed with saying nipple for a while. One day during the sacrament she started telling my dad all about nipples. Needless to say I've avoided giving correct names to anatomical parts since then. Jaxon calls his penis his "hole" and I haven't corrected him :)
BTW the word "Pena" means Sadness or Sorrow in Spanish so all you need to do is just start letting hang around Hispanic people and your problem is solved ;) Good luck girlie!
ha ha ha! I love you and your crazy little boy! Where did he get it? hmmmm... ;) I can't believe that is the little baby I used to rock...he is so big and cute!
He is getting cuter every time i check up on your blog!
btw i told my sisters about him adding penis to the end of random sentences and we all laughed. Too funny!
Haha! Him and Jamison are going to get along just fine!
"It's always "my penis" this and "my penis" that." Oy! I know what you mean!
Oh my gosh, I laughed so hard I almost wet my pants. What a crack up!
