my clean little man........

I guess I should be happy that my little boy is hygienic ...but why is the only body part Jadon will respond to when I ask him to wash in the bath is his 'little man'? Is this a man thing? He loves nothing more than to sit and play with his bits, pulling and twiddling his little life away merrily. You would have thought that maybe he has no toys, no, Jadon's mummy owns a kids catalogue and as our main tester Jadon is allowed to sample all our bath toys before they go online.
At the tender age of 1 year and 1 week Jadon has already learnt that the best toy in the world is one that mummy can't take away from him at the end of bath time. What is making it worse is that Joshua is now mimicking his behaviour and thinks its hysterical to tell his teacher that him and his brother share their 'toys' in the bath. Talk about want to curl up and die...
I believe that kids should be allowed to explore their own bodies and shouldn’t be made to feel guilty but at what point do I draw the line? I tried to explain to Josh that he shouldn’t copy Jadon and play with his 'bits' but I didn't want to tell him off. Joshua replied and asked me why boys has boy bits and girls don't. He is 4 - So I told him to continue playing...:)
