A Boy Thing?

Any idea what to do about this...

This new found atrocity, yes atrocity, is driving me crazy. He can't keep his hands out of there. I have tried to be stern, ignoring him, and even hitting (softly) his hand. The other day I looked over to find him 'taking the plunge' and said, "Jackson, no!" He looked at me, took his hand out, hit his own hand, and said, "no no". He then looked at me like: "Mom, I don't know how that happened and I have absolutely no control over my appendages but don't worry I took care of it. Shouldn't happen again" Well, it has happened again, repeatedly. Any suggestions? Is my boy doomed to grow up a dirty old man? I am seriously considering reinstating onsies. Is snap crotch clothing frowned upon once kids are over 30 lbs?

I love this!! That just made me laugh out loud. He's found his "friend" too huh? No suggestions for you, but thanks for the laugh.

I am pretty sure that is the funniest line yet. i will keep that one in mind for the 2008 Blogger's Choice Awards.
yes, I think desperate times call for desperate measures. Onesies for five year olds is perfectly fine!!

yeh, i'd say chalk that one up to the y-chromosome. if you come up with a solution, take copious notes... i grew up in an all-female household, so when my manchild starts this up i'll be turning to you for advice. hilarious.

I know my nephews do this so don't worry, he will not grow up to be a sick old man! All I have to say is that is the boys department! Tell Mark that's all his and you don't worry about it! He is way cute, even with his hand down his pants!

If you find a solution, pass it on to me so I can teach my poor husband. Are onsies for 31 year old men inappropriate? Also, you're tagged. Don't worry, it's fast and easy. Also kind of interesting. See my blog for instructions!!

The solution is simple, cut off his hands. I don't have boys, but it seems like the logical thing to do. ;)

P.S. I added the computer winking man just in case someone thinks I'm serious and calls the authorities on me. You always have to protect yourself on these public forums....

I can honestly say that we have never had that problem. I have though had many friends who went through this type of thing and they tried the onesies as well as many other techniques but no luck on any of them. But I am sure he is not going to grow up as a dirty old man. Good luck to you!

I don't know what all the fuss is. I don't see any problem with that picture.
