Here's to the Good Old Twig and Berries
Here are my totally gender stereotypical and extensively researched conclusions about rearing boys:
- They like to play with balls. And bouncy rubber ones.
- They are easily entertained.
- Aim it down. And take cover.
- They'll make you one of those moms, if you're not one already.
We're showering Julie today. Impart your boy-rearing wisdom upon her (on your own blog) today, slap a button up, and send us the link and we'll enter you in a little shower prize drawing. Plus we've got one hell of a downloadable boy-centric music list going.
My kids swapped roles yesterday - she was walking around talking with a deep voice and he was demanding to be called Princess. I'm still not sure why, but it doesn't bode well for my grandmotherly future, I think :(

I still laugh when I remember what your MIL said about Drew's boy parts. I can't help it. It's just not something I'd expect anyone to say. :)

Ok - my boy observations are published. There's a link to my blog in my name (submommy) but I'll send the link on, too. Boys are fun.

You know I'm already one of *those moms* (and have taken shit for it both on and offline).
At least I've gotten some practice with that. The balls...well, not so much.
Thank you, my friend. You never fail to surprise me and make me laugh.

Mine's posted and ready to go. There's just so much to say and why is it that most all of us make reference to the...um "male package"? I'm no different.

Not that helpful, maybe, but it's my views on my own boys. (excluding most of the typical kid stuff).

It's kinda like boys come with their own built in entertainment centre, isn't it? Happy showering!

No blog, but I'll post my assvice here... Boys like to dress up in their sister's princess outfits.
