Little boys....

I love being Matthew's mom. I'm sure little girls are precious, but I love having a boy! Amidst all the dirt and chaos is a joy I wouldn't trade for anything in this world. Here a few things I've learned from my son:

1. Misplaced legos cause puncture wounds on the soles of your feet

2. Most games involve being chased with a plastic weapon while a pint-sized pirate yells "Run for your life!"

3. Your camera will include pictures of dead bugs because they're "too cool" for Daddy to miss and Mommy won't save them.

4. Baggies filled with treasures such as locust shells, 1/2 a ladybug's wing and baby bird feathers will turn up at random places in your house.

5. Plastic army guys only semi-melt in the dryer

6. You're never dirty enough to actually need a bath.

7. The greatest motivation for accomplishing a task is for it to be labeled as "dangerous"

8. Puddles should never be avoided

And, finally (for me):
8. I'm glad I married a hero, because his son wants to be just like him...


All boy....
