Grant doesn't "mother" his stuffed animals. Sure, he gives them hugs from time to time, but he usually yanks them by the face and throws them as far as he can. He's a boy.
In this same regard, Grant knows the names of his body parts (head, nose, eyes, toes), even his boy parts. We have never called them by some alternate, cutsie name; we've always just called "it" by its scientific name.
Grant can now call it by name as well, but in his pre-polished speech, it doesn't come out quite right. So, instead of calling it by its official moniker, he pronounces it as "pieces," which I guess also applies.

AJ also learned the "official" names for body parts pretty early -- boy and girl. And let me say, it's gotten us into some pretty funny/embarrassing situations.
My personal favorite happened when she was about Grant's age. We were going on vacation, and she spent a huge chunk of the plane ride standing up on a lap, pointing at every single male on the plane, and pronouncing repeatedly in that shrilly unmissable toddler voice, "Nice man have penis!" You can't really argue with her, and yet... :)
