Max takes showers with me often, too. It's just so much easier! And I think that in addition to teaching him that he needn't be embarrassed about his body, you're teaching him that YOU aren't embarrassed about yours- I think it's important that our kids have realistic views of the female body... and if they never see one naked except Barbie, how can they do that? (You may totally have a perfect Barby-like body... I don't know... just something I think about with my own son!) How funny! Max takes showers with me often, too. It’s just so much easier!

But when she turned four and started exhibiting her independence, for some reason, that made me uneasy. I felt like saying, "No honey, it's not you. It's me!" like a bad break up. I know. I'm sad.

You will. You're already finding the good in it, in the extra time you get to spend with your kid. And that, my friend, is priceless.

He'll probably have to learn to that it's private parts eventually. :P But I agree with you about the nakedness. No one should avert their eyes because of nakedness. It's one of those things I've never had a problem with. That’s funny. He’ll probably have to learn to that it’s private parts eventually. :P
