Don't worry : Don't make a big deal about this with your son or yourself. Boys get erections even at young ages, and some cases reported in the womb. It's part of the anatomy and physiology of boys. Not necessarily from sexual thoughts. Best way to go about it is to give no attention to the episodes and just pick him up and give him a hug.
