Okay, still on the subject of boys. They just afford so much to write about. A few weeks ago I was heading to K-mart to get my 13 year old daughter some new bras. I brought my 2 yo son with me to give the rest of the family a chance for the ringing in their ears to stop (we still haven't found the volume control on him!). We stopped by the post office on the way and as I was coming out I saw a young woman who apparently missed the "modesty bulletin". My son saw her and said "I want to go in her ca" I ignored it and we drove on. When we arrived at K-mart the mannequin just inside the door was sporting a bikini. As we strolled past my son looked and said "I want to go with hu". I sighed, undeterred from my errand thinking "his father is really going to have his work cut out for him!". Turning the corner into the bra section my son gasps and yells "Boobs!!!!" I think in the future I"ll give the rest of the family ear plugs and go shopping alone! What do all of you ladies with lots of boys do? I had three girls first with a 7 year gap between my youngest girl and my son. Anyone who tries to tell me it's nurture not nature...well I've got some ocean front property in Arizona to sell you! This wonderful little man used to greet me each morning with "Mom, Micah's hungy." But yesterday morning was "Mom, Yook, Micah's wee wee's hard." Guess who doesn't want to wake up to that! We are really working on training him to be modest himself...but apparently there is something wonderful about knowing that all you have to do is run toward your sisters naked and you rule the room. Everyone runs in terror, like a scene from a bad monster movie from the 70's. It's like raising my own little Calvin of the notorious Calvin and Hobbs. I can't believe I can relate to a comic strip! Potty training is just another opportunity for him to point out his "peanuts" as he calls it and marvel at the handy work of God. I just respond matter of factly, "very nice...now wipe!". For all you mom's of boys out there...I'm getting my momscout badges and I will personally rise up and call all of you blessed!!! |
