Well it is natural for a boy to notice those things, that is probably a good memory for him =>. Don't worry, as long as he doesn't point them out, gets caught with excessive staring, or talks about it he is normal. You do need to teach him however that it is improper to do certain things, three year olds understand way more than you think. Reinforcement in an understanding compassionate way works fine.

Newsflash, all kids notice boobies. I have three daughters who remind me I have them every day. It's a part of life, kids notice things. Your job is to explain to them that they are private and nobody touches them. If you make jokes and such about your breasts, vagina or penis, you better bet your britches your kids will pick up on it and will use it at the darndest times, like when you are out in public, if you make a big deal out of it so will they, if you show them it's a natural part of life, it won't be such a big production. They learn how to react to this stuff by watching you. Ball is in your court mama, but don't think that they aren't going to notice these things at 3, they are just beginning to take in the world around them and they notice quite more than you like to think.

My niece became obsessed with boobies at about 1 year old and is still obsessed. She always lifts all the female shirts in the house and grabs them. Its natural for children to notice body parts at that age, just let them know that they shouldn't touch theirs and especially not to show them or other peoples parts off. Eventually they will understand.

Mine did the same thing it didn't help my husband found it funny so it made it worse but I just tried to explain that everyone has private parts and that it's not "nice" to say things in public but still to this day my 4 year old now still See's a nice looking woman and says I see a Hot Girl, So my advice even though it didn't work for me maybe just talking will do it.

Children are curious by nature, and this curiosity applies to all things, including those that our Victorian-influenced upbringing deems "naughty." While our parents and grandparents may have shuddered at the thought of discussing---and properly naming---certain parts of the body, we don't have to react the same way.
If a child is curious about a part of his or her (or your) body, discuss it like you'd discuss anything else. "These are breasts, and women can use them to feed their babies."
It's important for us, as parents, to address and respond to our children's natural curiosity. Feel free to explain to your child that our society may not be comfortable discussing bodily topics, or viewing these parts in public.

What do you mean he is not suppose to like?? What's wrong with boobs?? It's a part of the body just as any other. This is nothing to worry about.
