And boys in particular (at least from my perspective - Livvy was a dream compared to her wild brothers). <br /><br />I could write a book about my ignorance about mothering. Here's one: no matter how much of a pacifist you may be, your son will automatically gravitate towards weapons - if you do not get him a lightsaber or sword, they will make one own out of Crayola markers stacked up upon each other, chop sticks, fire place implements. Resistance to this fact is futile.Tonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05729671507254892682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5592051382522387010.post-84715139905447059512011-03-08T03:32:09.710-08:002011-03-08T03:32:09.710-08:00THK - So sorry to hear about your son.

Found out our youngest son (6yo) has permanent hearing loss (they thought it was being caused by fluid in his ears, but no). So now we've to run a gamut (sp?) of tests to rule out possible diseases and/or syndromes before we deal with the actual loss. ANYWAY....you had me literally laughing out loud with today's post. Thank you, I needed it! :)treehuggers kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11214664493883612688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5592051382522387010.post-19841106606785568322011-03-07T10:18:44.671-08:002011-03-07T10:18:44.671-08:00Ha!

Thank goodness there are also the OTHER things you can't possibly know until you have your own children, such as...<br />1. Being a mom made me realize the strength and tenderness I'm capable of (also the yelling- but I'm trying to think positive right now!).<br />2. Having children requires you to live for something other than yourself- I think it really does eventually make one a better person.<br />3. I get the health benefits of busting out laughing all day long (if I let myself) at the antics and quotes of my bizarre offspring! <br />4. Showing my child something new to them (fossils, snowflakes, constellations) brings back all the wonder I had lost about those things. It's like experiencing them again for the first time.

I remember getting that book from the library when I was 7 or so and being so traumatized by what I read (let's just say the author went into very graphic detail regarding the demise of several of the characters). I never looked at Disney movies the same way after that. :)L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09355017319970816074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5592051382522387010.post-31622342612478819402011-03-07T05:10:57.076-08:002011-03-07T05:10:57.076-08:00Happy Birthday, Mama :)
