Moms of "Boys"

I am always seeing blog posts talking about being a mom of a boy. A boy that tracks in mud on his sneakers. Would rather be playing baseball (and breaking windows) then doing anything else. That loves to ride his bike off jumps he builds in the driveway. But what about us moms of the types of boys?

I'm not saying that my son is in any way less of a boy then the next, but I don't feel like I fit in the category of "a mom of a boy". Yes he does love to dig in the dirt and play with his Army men, but he also loves to set all his books out around his room and play library. And given the choice, he would spend the day watching cartoons or playing video games. He loves to ride his bike, but there is always some hesitation after not riding it for a while as he is scared of falling and getting hurt. He loves to wrestle with M, but he easily gets upset and will start crying.

My son may not fight society's standards of a "typical" boy, but that does not mean he is any less of a boy. I think people need to broaden their sights and see that boys aren't all thrill seekers who have spent at least one summer in some sort of cast by the age of 10. Some boys like to play it a little more safe, and that is perfectly OK too.

Non-Stop

I am a bad blogger, I know. But in all honesty, by the time I have a little free/quite time, AKA I'm at work, I am so exhausted that I can't even muster up the energy to move my fingers and make my brain form words.

We have been going non-stop lately. K (Pumpkin) is in football right now, and has games Tuesday and Thursday nights, which M is coaching. And Miss L is in gymnastics on Wednesday nights. Our only "free" nights are Mondays and Fridays (weekends don't count since we are always doing something), and those are spent trying to keep up with other things, like homework, and fixing a ceiling fan/light combo that started to melt and burn and blew 2 light bulbs.

There are so many posts I want to write right now too, and I promise that as soon as I get a half an oz of energy, I will. Until then, some cute pics of the kiddos :)
