My wonderful DS (aged just 3) has recently discovered his lifelong 'friend' in earnest
Although he's been aware of his willy (known as winky in our house) in the past, it is only very recently that 'he' has been so exposed and openly talked about and played with . We have been greeted with such wonderful phrases as [an occassion when winky was excited for one of the first times] 'Mummy, it feels wrong I think it's broken, can Daddy buy me a new one when he comes home?'. We now no longer believe it is broken bless but are very aware that at certain times it feels very nice when touched!
DH tells me (with insider knowledge) that if I pay attention to it and tell him to leave it alone he will play with it all the more, on the otherhand he says if I ignore it he'll play with it all the more!
Having only had nieces to contend with, this is all new to me, and I just wanted advice from the great MN public as to the correct etiquette in dealing with these situations so that in future years I don't have a DS visiting a shrink because of what his inept mother said to him when he was little
