Moms...am I missing anything??? The kingdom of boys is quite large, its inhabitants are uniquely diverse. Yet there's something about that Y chromosome that links them all together.
Am I right, or am I right?

So this is what I have to look forward to??
Although I can already relate to a few...
*the asking question one. Eli, at age TWO, asks "why" constantly. It's crazy.
*violent reaction to sunscreen. So it may be that he's two, but seriously, you'd think I was severely hurting him while applying.
*of-course the dirt and rocks. I found rocks in his crib the other day.
But we sure do love 'em, don't we?
You are ABSOLUTELY right and it does not all go away when they are 26! The only thing you might have missed is you could find him after school laying on the back Deck talking to the Dog like he was his best friend ever!
You are right. Those dirty, active, busy little suckers are the best...
I guess one I would add with my two tiny ones:
the stinkiest feet ever....i don't get it but their tiny toes stink!
