As I step on hot wheels, jump at the same purple stretchy snake laying in our bathroom and try my best to hook tractors up just right to wagons I can only laugh. If I don't laugh I may cry because sometimes I get frustrated and tired of these boy things. The other night I boldly declared to my husband, "how would you like it if everyday you had to dress dolls and try to braid hair just to be told mommy does it better". I thought it was a good comparison but he just told me to get over it and think of all the useful things I am learning. Ugh, no sympathy, fine I will continue to refine my track building skills, brush up on farm equipment terms, monitor wrestling matches and embrace sleepovers with boy cousins.
Super fox has joined us this week (Trex made the hat at story hour and won't take it off) so my new adventure is finding things for him to round up and scare away.
You know like letting the chickens out and letting the fox scare them back to the coup, or keeping my eye out for hawks so super fox can come to the rescue...just another week in boyville.
I have 6 boys, so I totally hear you! My first 3 are boys. By the time I had a daughter (number 4) I was so used to boy toys and play that I didn't know how to do dolls and barbies anymore! I thought that I was missing so much by not having a girl, and I felt like a bit of me was empty, but once I had my daughters (numbers 4 and 5) I realized that boy or girl, the love and the joy that they bring is the same. Sometimes different activities, toys and interests, but sometimes the same. My 3 oldest boys are very into sports but they are also very interested in the arts....music especially. As your group of little boys gets older, it will get to be even more fun..... You are so blessed, and I really enjoy your blog. Blessings on you and your precious little boy waiting to join his awesome brothers. :) there is nothing like the love of mama's boys! Blessings in Christ, JoAnn
