Like all Dec 07 babies my boy has just turned 3. He knows that he has a "pee pee" and mummy doesn't. He doesn't seem to care to much about that. Every now and then while in the shower, he becomes a little too interested in what mummy has or doesn't have.

I try not to make too much fuss, as he's not really doing anything wrong, he's just curious. I just tell him he can't look and it's private. Should i really stop showering with him though?? I guess it'll have to stop at some point. What are all the other Dec 07 mummies doing??

i think there nothing wrong if you let any of the kids shower with you

I still shower with my son and don't expect to stop any time soon. If he has questions about any body parts or differences I answer him in a matter of fact way and we move on.

I still shower with my son, only in that if i dont hes into ALL kinds of trouble being alone (His father works 3rd shift)
He hasnt really noticed, or if he has has not said anything about different body parts.
I do think it depends on the parents own comfort level. I work in the nursing field and feel that americans are major prudes when it comes to the human body. Ive always taught my kids they have nothing to be ashamed of when it comes to their bodies. Granted i dont allow them to run around naked....but they dont go..hehe a penis..or hehe breasts.

I still shower with my son and he too is very curious about what's at his eye level - especially my backside!!! I try not to make a fuss about it, but sometimes that prying little boy just gets that spot where you have no control over the flying hand and he gets whopped!
I don't think being naked around your children at such a young age should ever be made a big deal because the second you start becoming conscience about your body around them they get conscience about theirs. I never want my son to feel like his body is something to hide or be ashamed (embarrassed about) of. I think it's just a gradual thing that will come when it comes and there will come a time when He'll actually choose to be without you!

I have two boys, one year apart. I usually bathe them together, but every so often they shower with me. I figure I will stop when the youngest turns three.

I still shower with my little boy and figure I will stop when he turns 4 since he has just recently became curious. He knows that is private.

i still shower with my son..and i see that he's more into playing water rather than looking at me..but however our shower time together will soon end as soon as he goes to school..

I still shower with my son. I'm taking the same approach you are when my son becomes too interested. The fact that it's a question means our time to stop showering together will be coming to an end in the next few months.

I think it depends on your own comfort level. Personally, I no longer shower with my son. He either takes a shower with his dad, or a bath with his brother.
