Lately Aaron seems to use nudity as an attention-seeking thing.
He refers to his boy parts as his "booty." Don't know how that started, but dh and I have let it go on because I am just not ready to hear the word "penis" out of him all the time. So we had a 7 yr old NT friend over playing the other day, Aaron's best pal. They were in the living room and friend was doing the playstation. Aaron is not very into it yet. He is getting tired of friend playing the game instead of playing of with him. I hear Aaron saying, "look at my booty" and stuff like that. I went in there and could see nothing going on. Later, dh heard Aaron talking about his booty while they were in aaron's room. He went in there to find Aaron had taken his pants off and was hanging out in his underwear. Dh did not say much, just "why are you in your underwear?" He just said because he wanted to.

Last night dh and I were busy unloading groceries. Aaron had just had his bath and was in his sleeping t-shirt and underwear. He kept saying "mommy look at me," with a naughty gleam in his eye. So I KNEW he is aware that what he was about to do was not appropriate. Then he pulls down his undies to show his bare bottom. I told dh to ignore it. He did it a couple more times and I told Aaron, "I have seen your bottom and it is nothing special." Then dh yelled at him. Sigh.

Any of you go through this? Was it your NT kid or PDD kid?
