I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one dealing with all the vulva talk!

DD has only one doll that's anatomically correct. She was VERY concerned about this at first (her first doll was a gift from a family friend, which was the anatomically correct one, the other dolls came later). She would get very upset that her other dolls didn't have peepee'S/vulvas. Fortunately, she seems to have gotten over it.
Until... a few months ago we were visiting relatives after a 14 hour plane ride. DD was exhausted and DD had only seen these relatives once before we had to do the parade of her meeting EVERYONE the first day despite her being really tired AND going through some pretty bad stranger anxiety.

Anyways, they decided to try and help by giving DD an anatomically correct BOY doll (I should mention DH does not like being naked in front of DH so she really didn't have any clue about boy parts). Anyways, she flipped out! She could not figure out what a penis was doing on a doll and kept asking about it. Well, that went away but then yesterday at the park she saw a little boy peeing so I'm sure we're going to have that conversation again sometime soon.

Oh, and blizzard_babe, it sounds like your son is already and advocate for natural birth!
