Being naked around 3 yr old

I have heard that it is ok to dress in front of your son if you are a woman if you feel comfortable enough and I have heard that men should? Anyway me and my son are usually rushing to get ready in the morning so I am usually giving him his clothes to get dressed then I'm off to the shower. He follows me around all the time and has told me "i like when you are naked", and just a little while ago he gave me this scary look like he was happy and was like "mommy i like your boobs'??? I'm worried. Should I not be undressing in front of him I don't like the fact that he knows what boobs are, but his dad like to joke around me and stuff and he hears. He is only 3. Anyone else have the same prob or wonder??

I think that this is probably pretty benign. But as a mother of a child who was molested by a fmaily memeber, I would say that more modesty would probably be in your best interest. I have taught my 4 yr old daughter that we all need our privacy when we are changing, peeping etc. You may not want to send mixed signals, esp. if he is starting to appreciate your breasts. I also usually buy what I want and try it on at home in the privacy (and much more forgiving lighting) of my home and return whatever I don't want.
Privacy is a good lesson to learn at about 3-4, per my ped. And my daughters therapist. It's hard to accept they are growing up, huh? I wish I coudl keep her little forever! Good luck, I would not worry I would just start introducing privacy. It's empowering for them too! Giana
