Totally normal. I am constantly telling my now 4 1/2 year old, to get his hands out of his pants (front and back!) and to wash them afterwards! My 2 year old is slowly toilet training too, and is becoming more and more fascinated with his penis and bottom.
I have taken to telling him he can touch himself when he's in his room or in private, but it's not appropriate to touch it when other people are around (especially me, it's rather disturbing to see my 4 year old with an erection!)
Thankfully I haven't experienced any poking of siblings bits yet!
Thanks gals. You're helping to make me realise this is a normal phase. Well, 'hopefully" a phase!!!
ohhhh boys. DS1 only tried to touch his bottom and I told him off so sternly that he's never ventured there again. The penis was quite fascinating there for awhile, but he knows now it's a bath or bedtime toy.
But now that I've read this I just know number two will go for the bottom. He does everything number one didn't. Fantastic!
Oh gosh. Is this what I have to look forward to????
Boys really are feral creatures.
I don't think boys are any more feral than girls.
Oh dear!!!! Maybe I've been lucky with my DD then... So far!
Possibly it isn't fair to say boys are feral, I should say my boy seems more feral than my girl![]()
I remember when DS was freshly toilet trained (we did the 3 day potty training method, and DS was pretty much trained the second day), I remarked to DH that I thought he toilet trained quickly just so that he didn't have to wear a nappy any more and had better access to his willy!! PMSL
I also remember asking DH if it was normal how fascinated and how much DS played with his willy. DH laughed and said it was just a faze, that would pass in about 60 or so YEARS LOL
So yes, very normal![]()
