No One Told Me...


...exactly how different boys are from girls.  I mean, we all know there are differences for sure, but nothing can quite prepare you for the energy of boys.  Girls sit still for longer than ten seconds.  My daughter has been a plant since she was born.  That girl could sit and play for hours.  And that whole no fear thing?  We've had stitches, a chipped tooth, scrapes, he's constantly covered in bruises, a near eye fatality with scissors, and lots of climbing.  Walking is a foreign concept, all he does is run.  That whole learning to walk phase lasted a mili-second before he was off and running.  There is no such thing as an indoor voice.  He speaks in two volumes:  yelling and screaming.
But then he sneaks into the cabinet to grab a brownie, breaks it in half, shares it with you, and melts your heart.
