What I've Been Missing


I love having girls. I know the difficult days are ahead of me (i.e. three boy-crazed teenagers in one house) but I was so happy to JUST have girls. Maybe it's because I was completely content with having my family of girls that I was so blindsided by the arrival of Bing. I'm loving having a boy. Not just any boy, but my boy.

1. Low maintenance hair
2. Boy clothes (Thank goodness for some blue and green to break up the monotony of pink)
3. Finding the perfect pair of church shoes. Cute girls shoes are everywhere but it takes skill to search out a fine pair like this.
4. The fact that Brigham will eventually have to take him on potty breaks.
5. Sleeping 12 hours at night and taking at least 2 long naps every day. Now I know this is not specific to boys, but mine does and I'm grateful.
6. Having double ear infections and croup and never acted the part.

Boys Rule!!!

Tammy, I second your feelings about boys. But I do hope my next baby (whenever that will be) is a girl. I have two wonderful girls, but I didn't give birth to them. I wish I had.
Thanks for the heads up on the shoes. Boy Sunday shoes are so hard to find...and those are sooo cute.
