I have a three year old son and a one year old daughter. I've been bathing them together. Recently, my daughter has discovered her brother's willie. She keeps grabbing it. My son thinks it's funny and encourages her. Should I make a big deal about it or ignore it? Should I stop bathing them together or is it healthy that they make these discoveries now? I'm not sure what's appropriate.

WOW-really? what if the situation was reversed and the 3 yr old boy wanted to explore her vagina? When they discover the differences it is time to separate them-and seriously, you don't see anything wrong with her moplesting him? Sick stuff!

I don't think there is a problem the baby dosen't associate it with anything private or personal. It's later on when there are privacy issues and the understanding of a difference. Kids love to bathe together!
