just wondering

My son just turned 3 and he still wants to take showers/baths with me.  I do on occasion let him. He knows girls don't have what boys do but dosen't seem to notice and has never done anything I would consider unapproate. Do you think I should  stop. At what age should I stop letting him see me unclothed..

Yes, I think everyone has their own opinions on this.  I'm not too hung up on it.  My kids don't seem to care.  I did just notice my son looking around with bewildered and big eyes in the lady's locker room at our gym . . . the "silver slipper" aerobics class had just got out and we were in there with a bunch of naked older ladies . . . I realized at that moment . . . and a moment too late I might add . . . that he was too old for that locker room.  My son just turned 6.  He seems too young to go to the men's locker room without me . . . but we'll have to figure that out.  

But I think at 3, it is still okay.

I don't think the age is 3.  You might check with his doctor, but you could also google "sexuality in children" or something like that.  There is some diversity of opinion out there even among the experts, so you should read their rationales for yourself.
