Creepy or Normal?

Im wondering if this is normal. This weekend, My sister in law was at her parents house where her younger brother still lives. He had a sticker of Britney spears on his mirror. My nephew who is 3 (turning 4 in July) could not stop looking at it. He asked my sister in law who that girl was. She told him that it was "Uncle J's Girlfriend"...I guess she didnt want to explain who Britney spears was. For 3 days straight, my Nephew kept asking when "Uncle J's Girlfriend" was coming over. That he wanted to see her and really liked her.
This is not the first time something like this has happened. He once ripped out a picture of a bikini girl from a Cosmo that my sister in law had. He also makes several references to 'boobs'. My sister in law and Brother are fairly modest. They dont have adult books, mags, content, around the house and my brother isn't the type that checks out women and makes a big deal about them. Also, my other nephew (His brother) who is 5, has always looked at boobs on other women. I remember when I was pregnant, he always wanted to touch them, or lay his head on them..(when he was 3). If my Sister in law is every naked, or even in just her underwear and bra, they both snicker and laugh and stare at her. "Mooooom...you're wearing just your underwear??" then they stare. Is this interest too early? Is it just their nature? My sister in law told me that she's nervous about Summer coming up and everyone being in swimsuits and wondering if she shouldnt wear a bikini... |

| My 2 year old loves boobs but I dont think he is into them in a sexual way. Just likes them alot. Dh and I do not make any special issue of it or draw attention to boobs to encourage him. That probably doesn't help you but tought I'd share. |

Young children can be very romantic and very interested in the opposite sex. They can have intense crushes and be very attracted to people, even adults. They will often declare their love. This is all normal. I don't find anything "creepy" about your nephews' behavior. I'm not sure what you are trying to read into it.

| My daughter, who is 3, loves my breasts and likes to lay her head on them. I don't find anything sexual about this. That's what they are there for...comfort. |

I think even very young humans are designed to respond quite viscerally to boobs. My two daughters seem to find mine fascinating. Every time my 16 month old sees them she lights up like a christmas tree, and she's been weened for about 8 months.
It seems a little excessive in the case you described, but not to the degree that I'd be worried, or think something is going on that's inappropriate in their lives. |

My almost 3yr old has a HUGE crush on my girlfriend. He talks about her all the time. She also has a son his age and he pays his "friend" no attention when his friend's mom is around. There have been a few other women he has been smitten with-all blondes which is funny since I have brown hair.
FWIW, my son is also fascinated with my boobs. He also is fascinated with my vagina. He stares at either when I'm nude. I don't think it sexual, just natural curiosity about a place that is normally covered up. |

| Yes, normal. I don't think the word "creepy" can be used when describing a three year old child. |

When my niece watched the Lord of the Rings movie at age 4 (she had been read the book), she had the best reaction to Legolas (the elf played by Orlando Bloom): "Ohhh..." (deep sigh) "I want him to hold me."
In my family we've always joked about flirty toddlers. We say "they know they want it, even though they don't know what it is." No harm. Just a phase. |
