Izzy is a freak.

I try to read everything I can get my hands on about raising a happy, healthy child. As such, I am a member of several internet boards on which we discuss various child care methods.

On one of my boards, the discussion recently turned to "nakey" time. I had never done this with Izzy, so I decided to give it a shot.

Nakey time is basically just time for the baby to run around stark naked, without the constrictions of plastic coated undies. We stripped little man down, took him to the potty so as to hopefully prevent any biological disasters, and set him free.

Now, we knew that little boys are quite fascinated by their little...shall we say...packages? Several of the women on my board who are also mothers to little boys, said that when they have nakey time the little guys run around with their hands tightly clenched around their packages, almost as if to protect them. Not Izzy.

Instead, he sat down on the floor *gag, gag* and proceeded to check out his package. Then, HE STRETCHED HIS PACKAGE OUT AS FAR AS IT WOULD GO, AND HE BENT OVER AND TRIED TO BITE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chris and I just about died. I said, "OH MY GOD! I've got to grab the camera!" Chris very seriously told me, "I don't think so."

Luckily, Izzy couldn't quite reach it, or else my little Izzy might be an Izzette now.
