It is funny how 2 kids can be so completely different. My 13 y/o was potty trained by the time he was 18 month old. He just woke up one day and decided to use the toilet. It was that instant. I remember reading Nathans Dad's posts about his 3 y/o and potty training having no clue why his kid would not go on the toilet. My 13 y/o was easy. My 3 y/o still shows no interest in the toilet. So I feel your pain now.

My 13 y/o when little would get erections and get mad at them. I remember him getting upset over it.


Now my 3 y/o....... My wife and I are dumbstruck. He keeps wandering off into his room, closing the door and playing with his erection. This is not a once in a while thing either. He does it a lot. When you walk in on him he gets kind of flustered. Puts it away quickly and acts like he wasn't doing anything.

We are not making a huge deal out of it with him and hope its a passing fad. We actually had to walk to another room one time and get the laughing over.

I normally just ask him what he is doing and he quickly replies, nothing daddy and changes the subject.

He shouldn't know to be embarresed and we have not done anything to indicate to him what he is doing is wrong so we are really baffled over the closed door in the bedroom thing and the quickly covering up. It not the playing with himself so much that bothers me its more the sense of embaressment that has me baffled.

Here comes the jokes.

Hopefully maybe some of you wise men can tell me if we are handling this correctly by not making a big deal of it and letting it run its course.
