I‘m sure you’ve heard the saying that goes – What screws us up the most is that image we have in our heads of how we think it all should go.  Being solely a boy mom wouldn’t be what I’d pick at 23 but thank goodness because I couldn’t imagine life without Tuck and our soon to come Wesley James.  Truth be told I’m giddy thinking about two boys running around my house creating havoc.  A smile as big as texas is across my face just picturing it.  I think we can all thank God for not giving us exactly what we’ve wanted at certain times all the time, because for one, I wouldn’t trade knowing this sweet angel boy for the world.  In no way am I saying one is better than the other… but this is what I’ve discovered about having a boy.  or a tuck.  because they are all so different, i know.

– they are literally the sweetest beings on earth.  my child kisses me at every turn.  literally takes my face in his hand and cups my chin and plants a wet one.  It’s just so unexpectedly sweet to me.  I didn’t think a boy would be like this.  But again – I know nothing.  God knows everything.

-tuck will go to bed with his truckies.  I know not all boys are like this but it cracks me up nightly.

-my son likes to go in our “woods” which are basically shrubs and pretend like he’s in a jungle.  it’s the best to watch.  boys are little explorers.

-boys seem to be a thousand times messier.  like no thought to being a complete ragamuffin at every turn.  this has taught me more humility (I needed it).  It’s also taught me – who the heck cares?  life is short.  get messy.

– it’s true what they say – boys LOVE their mamas.  My son prefers me to everyone- even his dad, which is saying a lot, because everyone prefers his dad.   He’s doing a lot for my confidence that boy.  lol.

Obviously your boy may be totally different or your girl may be just like my little Tuck.  But the point is – aren’t all our kids amazing?  Boy or girl- whatever you get blessed with, is the best.  And if you’re currently pregnant worrying if you’re going to connect with your baby boy – don’t.  You will.  Beyond anything you thought imaginable.  And that relationship will be perfect.  That little boy is going to change your life in the best way.  I promise.
