For instance, we can take pictures of our baby nude and put them in an album, but we do not post them online or share them with others electronically. Someday, he will be a man and may be annoyed that his parents shared pictures of his bits with the world. We're trying to avoid that.
In real life, our child has yet to wear a pair of pants. I've wondered if he should don a pair, but McDad argued that he has the rest of his life to wear pants. Agreed. He will start wearing pants in September when it gets cooler and he's a little older. At nighttime, pajamas are unnecessary. MacBaby sleeps only in a diaper. He seems more comfortable that way and it gives his skin time to breathe. What about airing out his derriere? Unfortunately, he's got to keep tush covered for now as it can explode at any moment.
Funny story about that: soon after we returned from the hospital, McDad decided McBaby needed naked time. I tried to warn him that this was a terrible idea. Sure enough, he got pooped on. Lesson learned.
This topic also alludes to a time in my life which I'm dreading: having to be fully clothed myself. For now, since MacBaby literally survives on a product my body produces, I'm extremely lax about modesty in our household. I will be very sad the day I have to wear clothes around him. When will that happen do you think? Where's the balance between helping your child embrace the natural state and scarring him?
