Being the mom of my four fabulous offspring, I find myself in constant awe over their inspiring little personalities. Comedians, recluses, performers, passionate little (or big) beings. It's amazing to watch everyday and I'm lucky to get to guide these creatures to adulthood. That said, I want to take a few moments to talk about my two girls. Having four (2 boys, 2 girls) I think I've got a pretty good picture of the distinct boy/girl differences and can attest that...boys are easy, girls are crazy. I'm a girl, I'm licenced to say that. Why is it that while my daughter and I are chatting this morning while brushing her hair and the sound of the front door opening sends her into traumatic crying over how painful the brushing is? I was not hurting her but daddy will think I was and the crying will give her instant attention from him? This is not OK! I keep trying to explain to my husband how this is going to change the way she interacts with men for the rest of her beauty privileged life! As much as I want people to stop telling her how pretty she is (which she really is) I want her to be independent and use her brain like her average looking mother does! I'm working on it although the progress is slow. She's already learned at only 5 years old that she can basically get whatever she wants...just because. This will be my girly girl and I guess we all need to experience that at least once right? (just agree with me here)
OK...I'm off that tangent. Now my last DD? Complete Opposite. This is the child who's favorite TV character is Buzz Light year and her favorite lovey is a T-Rex or a parrot. She is kind, considerate, and imaginative! At the same time, this girl can flip a 180 and be the roughest kind to break through. Good for her! She's keeping me on my toes. She is mean to her sister, can throw a tantrum like no other and her voice, booming! Just this morning I was looking for my DD and heard a faint voice coming from under my bed. Low and behold she had my cell phone and as she crawled out she informed me that she was using the light on my phone to check for snakes under my bed. All was clear and she popped back up and handed me my phone. I couldn't get a straight answer as to why she thought there would be snakes under my bed but I will assure you I slept better last night knowing there weren't any!
My boys? Perfect angels. Never really had to punish them, they get along just fine. They are here, help out when asked, don't sass too much, trustworthy and loving. I guess I'm doing something right because these are the kind of men we want and well, since all of us women are crazy, raising a good steady man should help that along just fine.
Speaking of crazy....don't forget that Baby Gizmo is on day 8 of the 30-day giveaway. Todays fabulous prize, a Peg Perego Si. This is the newest lightweight addition to the Peg family.
