My son gave quite the show at church today...

today was the Children's Christmas Pageant at church. While singing one of my sons sticks his hands down his pants, I try like mad to make eye contact with him from my pew to get his attention to get him to stop to no avail. Next thing I know my son's penis is on display for the whole congregation to see. It was just a flash and lasted about as long as a finger snap but there it was.

Afterwards I calmly talked to him about why that happened and he told me that his penis was hurting cuz it was getting bigger. I calmly told him and his brother that the only time they should touch their penis is when they are going potty or when taking a shower or bath to clean it. And that no one but mommy & daddy should ever see their penis.

He wasn't even aware that he did it and even though my eyeballs likely popped out of my head when it happened I wasn't embarrassed and didn't freak out about it. I mean he's a boy and he's 4 so what could I have done?

SIGH, the joys of raising boys!
