Little Boys

I'm learning quite a lot about little boys, which is a good thing since I really didn't know anything about little boys when I had Micah. Growing up, I came from a family of three girls, had mainly girl cousins, and of course had lots of little girl friends. So when the doctor told me I would be having a boy, I was shocked! Then, when I found out we were having another little boy, I was shocked all over again. And since several of my friends are having boys, I've been taking a few notes on the whole little boy thing. Moms of boys, feel free to add to this list!

Rules of the toddler boy

• If an item is placed somewhere neatly, it should probably be moved to the floor.
• Once on the floor, the item should be kicked.
• Why walk when you can run?
• There is no point in putting books on a bookshelf, they're really supposed to be on the floor.
• Board books are chew toys, and the objective is to shred the book into the smallest pieces imaginable.
• Cribs are for jumping and climbing, not sleeping.
• Bats can be uses to play baseball, or they can be used to beat the snot out of anything on the floor, including the floor.
• The above rule goes for golf clubs, wrapping paper tubes, or sister's wand.
• When Mommy vacuums, a boy should run around screaming, trying to be louder than the vacuum.
• Food is to be shoveled into the mouth, there is no reason for spoons and forks.
• If your food is too liquidity to shovel, then you should slurp it from your bowl.

Janelle, I am so excited for you and Brian! I kept you in mind when writing this post!!
