The Parenting Hat: What About Boys

As I approach month 8 – I’m getting more and more freaked out about having a boy. The energy, the mess, the noise! I’m not sure I can handle it. I kind of love my calm, cool and collected girl.

We paint nails together, watch movies, go shopping and sometimes just chill out on the floor with a puzzle. It’s been pretty amazing. Sure, she bosses me around, tells me when my dresses are pretty (and ugly) and rips out my hair as she tries to “braid” it. But, a boy …. a boy?! I need some tips.

    I wish I could give you tips but I’m clueless – not only do I only have a girl but I grew up without any brothers too!

    Tips – protective eyewear for flying Nerf darts.
    Make sure the “boys” have their own bathroom on the far end of the house.
    Dinosaurs, cars, and tupperware….hours of entertainment.
    They like to chill out and do puzzles and watch movies too… Good luck!

    I love that wall decal! And seriously, what are we going to do?? Thankfully I think the girls will be willing and able to smack them into shape ;)

    Let me just assure you that your little boy will melt your heart just as much as your little girl. There is something chivalrous about the way boys love their moms. It’s priceless.
