I am the mother of 2 boys! A toddler boy and a kindergarten boy. They are both very much alike, yet very much different at the same time! I have been asked a few times, "Don't you want a little girl?" But honestly, I never did. Not because my mother and I didn't get along, because we got along until I was a teenager, my grandmother was just like a mom to me, my older cousin was one of the people I hung out with most and spent most of my free time with, etc... So, I had good female relationships growing up, but I know how we are! Dramatic, expensive, mouthy, argumenative, we always want to be right, it is my way or the highway, bossy and emotional! I didn't want to share my female role in the household, I know, selfish, but if we ever had a girl, I would be just as happy and be glad to not be the only female in the house!
Anyway, I love our little boys for several reasons. They are rough and tough, rowdy, smelly, gross, mean, loud and much more, but they are very sweet to their mommy! Levi was just telling me "belbow", which means elbow drop, a little while ago. Then he proceded to elbow drop me and then hug me and say, "ove you mama"! Then Bruce plays, and every so often he comes to where I am and says, "Mom, I love you, just wanted you to know!" It melts my heart everytime! Waves, blown kisses and "I love you" signs from the school bus, hugs for no reason, random kisses and love you's are all what the boys surprise me with every day. Being a mommy is hard work, being a mommy to two boys is hard work as well! Levi already wrestles with Bruce, he was giving him a choke hold the other day, and Bruce taped out so Levi let him go (are they wired to know these things?)
Boys, boys, boys!
