I have several posts on this subject as well.

Izzy (age 6) will not wear clothes unless:

A. Going out of the house to school or the market. (Even then,he does not understand why clothes are needed)

B. When someone comes over to the house (then Izzy hurriedly runs to his bedroom and pulls on a pair of underwear.)

The boy is a nudist despite the other 6 people in his family that wear clothes.
I love him for it.

I'm new to your blog, so Hi! I love this! My daughter Eva is 3 1/2 and she L-O-V-E-S being naked. I don't mind one darned bit. She knows we wear clothes to go out in public, but if its in our house or yard, she can run free as can be. I want her to be modest but proud of herself and free of the crushing insecurities that we all face. I'll also let my son Owen run naked if he so chooses. Seeing as he's only 5 weeks right now, I choose it for him. Glad to have found you! .-= Sara Rose´s last blog ..The Boys (One More Blog) =-.

My little nut is two and a half and is always naked It’s a daily battle to get her to wear clothes and it’s a losing battle at that. Two days ago we were outside and I caught, with my camera, her stripping down to nothing, grinning like a mini Cheshire cat. When my husband got her dressed again, she cried and screamed at the top of her lungs “I LIKE NAKED! I AM NAKED! I BE NAKED!” he he, sweet little thing

I know I’m a little late to the party but I thought I would throw this out there. I am completely comfortable in my natural state. Much more than I am clothed with pieces to bind and pinch me and cause odd bumps and divots to form. This is not to say that my body is perfect, far from it. I weigh twice what I did in high school (which was an admittedly small amount) and I had a baby not quite a year ago.

I fully plan on letting my daughter be naked as much as she wants to be. My mother always let me and my siblings run around naked. I think I had to start wearing panties at 4 or 5 but I remember bathing with my little sisters when I was as old as 10 or 11. It was never a big deal. I think what you are doing is the best thing you can do for Emilia. While I have all of the normal hang-ups about my body that other women have, I never feel as comfortable as I do in nothing but my own skin.

My 8 year old has spent her entire life “losing” as much clothing as possible. At her 4th birthday party she stripped down to her skin and ran through the house and yard, in front of the guests. When asked what she was doing, she replied “naked is good for you.”

When my 3-year-old daughter sees one of us heading for our pool she’s out of her clothes in about 3 seconds flat. However, if she want to be held up by hand in the water instead of towed around in a float we have her put her bikini bottom on. No one really wants to grab her nekkid bum bare-handed.

My 1-year-old son is regularly peeled out of all his clothes and diaper to let him splash from the pool steps. Well, as “regularly” as this unseasonably cool summer allows.

I’m a big fan of skinny dipping myself, though I wait until after dark in deference to the neighbours though.

I wish that my kids loved being naked the way your sweet daughter does. My 5 year old would run naked at Gramma’s house when he was younger, but no longer do I get so see his cute little naked butt streaking across the yard. And my other little boy absolutely loses his mind at not having clothes on outside of the bathtub. Why? I am not sure…but each is different. Cherish this time before she finds flaws in her bodys that she will see eventually. Sad for all of us.

Then there are those who couldn’t possibly care less. Who don’t care one little iota whether they are naked or clothed, whether they are wearing pajamas, jeans and a T-shirt, swim trunks, or nothing. Who want to just GET ON WITH IT, whatever IT is this time, without changing the state of their clothing.
For the most part, in my experience, they are boys. My son is one of them. He’s always been this way. He’s 8 now, and we still have occasional arguments that begin “But why CAN’T I just wear my pajamas to school?”
