We were blessed with girls, all girls in fact. Four of them if you want to count. So I had literally no experience in raising boys. The only exception to that was my nephew Andy who was practically raised with my girls and his sister.
But Andy was raised with five girls and even though he was all boy, he wasn’t the rough playing kind. This crew of girls just didn’t stand for that.
Now we have a grandson…….
We also have three nephews about the same age as Tyler. And when the four of them are together, lets just say there is never a quiet moment.
They do boy stuff. It must involve running, jumping, rough play to be fun.
This was not a quiet moment. The noise was indescribable.
They love beach days at the pond.
When they play outside their mothers know they laundry piles will increase. They were hungry and wanted to come inside but they were stopped at the door.
This is why they weren’t allowed inside. What is it with boys and the knees of their pants?
I am sure this was a bodily noise of some sort.
We work them hard around here. They are forced to shuck corn for hours in the hot sun.
Only the closest of cousins could share the same cob of corn.
They play ball together.
So you see we’ve learned that boys and much different to raise than girls.
They play hard and rough
They are competitive
And they all love their Mamas
We wouldn’t trade them for anything.
