Wee Wee

Troy has entered the phallic phase of his development, where he plays with his exposed wee wee every chance he gets. Usually this coincides with bath time since that’s when he’s usually naked. Even with bubbles in the tub, you can always tell when he’s doing it because his hand disappears under the water, he will completely ignore the running faucet (which drinking out of and swatting with his hand is his favorite bath past time), and he’ll get a distant spacey look in his eyes as he ceases to focus on the real world and loses himself in the world of the wee.

My mother-in-law and I got a big kick out of this, as apparently my brother-in-law used to do this all the time too. My wife is bothered by it, because she's afraid he's going to injure himself, but we tried to tell her that it's just boys being boys and exploring their bodies. Some of us never grow out of that!
