Private Time

Sunday I tried to explain to him that potty is private time.  At our church, the small childrens potty opens on either side of 2 rooms.  We were going potty when he decided to open the other door while he was standing with his pants down.  We had to go through "Its ok for Mama to see Alan when he's going potty or taking a bath, and it's ok for teachers at daycares to see Alan when he goes potty, but it's not ok for other kids or other adults to see Alan naked".  Pretty sure he didn't understand.

At the YMCA, Alan has to go through the girls locker room with me.  He is not allowed in the women's.  But lots of times  there are little girls in various stages of getting dressed.  I feel uncomfortable with him seeing this, and we usually go in the big bathroom to get dressed (I am a private dresser myself).  I'm sure I won't allow him in the boys locker room until he is 7  or so.
