Noooooooo!!!!

This morning I was changing the baby's diaper. He was babbling and I was talking to him, just like we do every morning. Nothing was amiss, until I looked down and was met with the most disturbing sight: an erect baby penis.

It freaks me out to even type the words "erect" and "baby penis." How could this be? In disbelief I looked at it again and it was still standing at full attention. I yelled for Jason to come into the room and check it out. He started laughing when he saw it. He assured me it was normal. "It's just the blood going to that area, honey. That's all." I was beyond horrified. Magnus continued to babble and kick his legs, completely oblivious to his protuding boner. I told Jason to finish changing him and I dashed to the computer. I Googled "baby erection" and was stunned by how many search results I got. One item was particularly funny. A husband, who was either English or Scottish, wrote on a blog that his wife was changing Henry's "nappy" when the lad's penis shot straight up, scaring his wife. Someone commented that it was a perfectly normal phenomenon, her lad's willy was also frequently erect, but he was a happy child so there is no need to be concerned. Another blogger wrote that her two-year-old son sprung wood at a family party but she threw a blanket over his lap and no one noticed!

I am dismayed. I feel Mags is already growing up way too fast. Now he's having erections, which I thought were years away. Damn you, Father Time.
