Yup, sure enough, it does a "new trick".

A couple days ago my intact almost 6 year old son excitedly went to his circumcised father to show him the new trick his penis does. He's fully retractable. My lil' boy is growing up. I must admit it was a little bit of a relief to see him do it the first time today...just as we thought, everything down there is totally healthy and normal. :-)

What followed him showing us was me explaining to him that when he takes a shower or bath he should rinse it, pat dry, and always make sure to put his foreskin back...don't ever use soap...and if the foreskin ever gets stuck to tell me or his dad right away.

I kinda feel sorry for parents who miss this little "coming of age" discussion.

You handled that beautifully. Glad you thought to tell him to come to you or your dh if it dosnt go back.

I have to admit, that's a pretty cute story
It is a "coming of age" event.
