I have always felt in the know about boys.
I grew up knowing I would only have boys because I understand them more.
I get playing dirty, riding bikes all day, being obsessed with animals.
I was that little girl that played with the boys and enjoyed it.
What I didn't know is this....
Monster trucks don't simply say, "rooom" they say, "VAROOOOOM" (as loud as possible)
Monster trucks no matter how small are never the "baby" monster truck, there is never a daddy monster truck, and there certainly is NOT a mommy monster truck.
(I made this mistake the other day and being corrected by a 2 year old is slightly humbling. The look on my husbands face was more appalled....but hey how was I to know.)
I did not know that anything and everything is a gun. This includes but is not limited to...
The hand, a hanger, blocks, sippy cups, very special monster trucks, sticks, and every once in a while an animal can do the trick.
I didn't know that rollie pollies would be joining me in the car on the way to school.
I didn't realize it could take an hour to get to the park because we must stop at every ant hill to examine and then stomp.
I never knew an alligator lived in my basement and that it is necessary to shoot it several times a day.
Best buddies seriously wrestle from start of play date to the end? I watched Krew and Maddux (his buddy) wrestle for a good 2 hours the other night. The only pause was to eat a little.
What I do now know is I have a lot to learn about little boys, the correct sounds to make, what bugs are what, and how to let them play rough.
This adventure is going to give me gray hair by the time I'm 30 but man it sure is fun!
