So last night at dinner time, he goes on the potty, comes out of the bathroom and decides to sit at the dinner table without his underwear. He washed his hands BTW. wink.gif So as I'm waiting for the chicken to bake, I notice Wil doing something under the table, using his shirt to cover his hands..............YES, you guessed it!!! ohmy.gif He is not even three yet! Is this normal at this age? And he was.......ummmm, hard. huh.gif God help me.

KingMom replied: Rae - I had to smile (okay giggle). I haven't had to experience this same thing but Colin sometimes will "play" with it in the tub and I just ignore it and keep bathing and he will stop.

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied:
Yeah, playing with it happens all the time and I just ignore it, but this was more....umm...focused. I'm fine with him experimenting, but just wondering if boys start the m word this young.

TANNER'S MOM replied: Yes it's normal. I am suprised you just now noticed the hard thing. I remember when my boys did that I was just as shocked. They do get the pee hard ons..lol And that might have been some of it. But it's normal..and will go away. Since PT he more access to it then usual..it's normal thought girl.

Sam & Abby's Mom replied: Oh, Lord. Is this what I have to look forward to ? ohmy.gif


mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied:
Oh good, glad my kid is normal. tongue.gif I have noticed it being hard before, even Wesley gets those during a diaper change. But never have I noticed my boys doing it on purpose! Wil definitely knew what he was doing. Ugh. I'm not ready for this........ rolleyes.gif

Boo&BugsMom replied:
Yep, totally normal, unfortunately. Have fun! laugh.gif Tanner hasn't stopped touching his since he was 2, and he's now 5. dry.gif I tell him to stop touching himself when I see it.

redchief replied:
Don't worry... Once they get to school most boys stop touching it in public and keep their "self-examination" behind closed doors.

my2monkeyboys replied: Oh yeah... Will's a big participant in this sport, too. I just tell him it's for when he's alone in his bedroom. And I knock on his door when ever it's closed. emlaugh.gif

Hillbilly Housewife replied:
Hmm, Jennie, I read that if you tell the kids to just "stop touching yourself", they can develop some sort of complex about it, and they might think it's something "dirty" instead of something natural but private...do you think maybe you should tell him to play with it when he's by himself in his room instead? unsure.gif

Boo&BugsMom replied:
I read lots of things too, but it doesn't mean everything I read is accurate. wink.gif So no, I will certainly not be telling him it's ok to touch himself for pleasure. That is for his wife when he's married. happy.gif
