5 yr old Ds and body hair?

Have namechanged out of embarassment, as I'm probably worrying about nothing.

I was changing my DS's underpants today (he has SN) and noticed he had fine blonde hairs, about an inch long strip on top of his penis. He is only 5 yrs old. Is this normal? I've an older DS, but as I don't do any intimate care with him, I can't really say if it is or not.

My DS who has only just turnned 3 has luxuriant growth on his back and upper arms. It's quite dark too. When you run the shower over it it moves into kind of furrows.Hmm
I've not noticed pubes, but I haven't really looked. (If his willy is out, it's usually in his hand.Grin)

Some people are just hairier than others I suppose.
