So as most of you know Joshua is 5. As it has been developmentally appropriate we have tried to find the right balance of sheltering and exposure so that he is prepared for the world around him. He is also obsessed with Minecraft (OBSESSED). As a child that is borderline Aspergers and possibly gifted he goes through phases of obsession that I work to help him develop and keep under control. One of his favorite things is watching videos on MODS which I don't quite understand but I listen to in the background to make sure they are 'kid' appropriate. I have all settings on parental controls on YouTube set to filter videos and help me monitor his video watching. I also set time limits etc. Well this morning as I'm getting ready he is talking to me about videos that he has seen. He told me he found girl Minecraft MODS. He knows how I feel about gender equality so he knew I would like that. I commented on how that is awesome and asked him to explain how it was a girl MOD. He said, "Well all the girls were in bikinis" This is where I stop getting ready and give him the mom eyebrow. Ya'll know the one right? He said, "Well they are Minecraft girls," Then he looked at me and clear as day said, "Oh Don't worry momma I didn't see their boobs" OMGoodness!!!! There are some mommy moments that you just can't help but throw your head back and laugh hysterically. This was one of them. Please go back to watching boy Minecraft videos son lol
