to be worried about the attention that DS gives his willy?

[marshmallowdelight]

DS is 3 frequently has his hands in his pants now that he is no longer wearing bodysuits with poppers and I must admit that its starting to worry me a little bit...

He says that it feels nice

I used to have a boy who sat in the front of my lectures and did that. Like I couldn't see. Apparently he was a bit notorious for it, as one day a senior colleague came in to make an announcement before I got going, clocked him, and in front of the whole audience of c. 200 students barked, 'Tarquin! Palms on the table, please!'

Funnily enough, he stopped after that...

And girls do do it too. My sisters and I used to climb the fireman's pole endlessly when we were about 7.

Not a euphemism, btw.

rofl. Poor Tarquin. Poor table.

DS loves his winky, though only had a couple of days really focussed on it when he first went nappy-free.

DD will muck with her lady parts any time she doesn't wear knickers. she said 'i have two bottoms'

DS (3) is the same. Current favourite thing is putting it through the hole in DVD's. We're working on the "ok in private" line.

Ds2 once threaded his through a hole he'd bitten in a ham sandwich.

Apparently a good fiddle is, medically, a good thing. My friend's colleague's son was stopped from fiddling with his and as a result the foreskin totally fused and had to be surgically released so it could become retractile.

I tell my son they're his private parts. To be explored in private! (Makes no difference most of the time!)

DS also has a 'hologram chamber' from the science museum. His winky's been in that a few times. And the ketchup bottle from the play cooker.

chortling at the willy stories

i have two bottoms

I'm going to tell DP that when I see him tomorrow.

Have been crying with laughter and totally relate. DS 4.2 was obsessed with his, first time DH saw him he beamed and said "welcome to the rest of your life son", I took the if I don't notice it's not happening line.

However, he came out of the bathroom a couple of months ago, quite white faced, and asked me to put his pants back on he had retracted his foreskin and it was stuck, horrendous ordeal for him, we ended up at casualty as he wouldn't let me near it (and didn't know what to do as STUCK). Apparently very serious, we were seen immediately and told if he didn't let them sort it quickly it would be a general anesthetic job .

He doesn't mess with it at all anymore and that worries me!!

Thank you mums for making me cry with laughter reading your stories.

My real shock was that it does seem to (ahem) not stay soft - and being a girl and mum swearing blind that my brother never had this stage - I wonder if it's supposed to do that when they're so little?

DS's best friends dad says that his DS also will play with his willy and then remark to his parents "willy hard" and this is a whole new concept to me

Looks like I've got all of these willy-poking-through-things episodes to come too...

Oh the delights of having a son!

DS has had erections since about 3 months old, but I read they can get them in the womb. Honestly, nothing to worry about.

Nothing to worry about, but plenty to feel weird about.

Crikey, something else to add to the ever growing list of things that they didn't tell you before you became pregnant...

I remember when my DB was 2 (just potty trained) and I was 12, and my DB really needed a wee (we were in the car), so my dad got DB out and let him wee by the side of the road, and DB surprised to find that "his willy had got big and hard" - was telling me & dad the rest of the journey about his big hard willy.

Silence from me and my dad - both too embarassed to say anything at all!!!!!!

DS1 (4.5) doesn't really touch willy but DS2 (8 months has hands in there as soon as nappu off).

loving the DVDs and the Ham sandwich - am crying laughing here!

I must admit after only having had DD and 4 nieces, it was a shock to undo DS nappy (aged about 3 months) and find he had a stiffy.. He is now 20 months and when ever he has his nappy off he laughs points at his bits and says Willy look willy...

I worry, I really worry

Has he treated you to the exciting development of it getting BIG yet?

Totally normal, just tell him to try not to do it un front of everyone.

My DS,3 is currently 'humping' everything in sight - honestly it's like watching an animal in heat - nothing is safe: table legs, the sofa and even my poor mum's back went she bent over - she was a bit horrified and very till I told her it wasn't "her" and that she was just another 'chair leg'.

We are going to have to have the 'not in company' conversation soon, but DS is delighting in it at the moment and was overheard telling his sister,5, that it is nice because it tickles and after 'lots of pushing it makes your willy grow strong'

And I swear a caught a moment of glancing pride from DH.

So don't worry OP perfectly normal!

True story- when I had my 20 week scan for DS1 they couldn't see his gender because his hand was on his genitals. I said "Its a boy!" and I was right. Do I win five pounds for having the youngest willy fiddler?

"Its a boy!" and I was right

At the age of 3 DS1 was obsessed with his!

He is now 7 and is probably still pretty pleased with it but is now better at keeping that sort of thing to his bedroom

Yep - absolutely normal and the only way to handle it (excuse the pun!) if to agree that it does feel nice, but it's something we do in private :) you have to say it again and again and again and again... and again - it doesn't really achieve much, but it makes you feel like you are doing something about it!

My friends two were playing in the bath - 3 year old DS says 'It's hard again and SO HUGE' and says to his sister (5) 'You pull it and see if it gets bigger' so she does... Dad decides they are now of an age not to share baths.... LOL - I told him not to be so precious! (but just to tell them we only play with our own bits OK kids).... poor love was in such a fluster - bless.
