Top 10 Ways You Know You're Raising a Boy...

#10- You at any point in your day have to remind your child "not to dig" in their diaper.

#9- Your child climbs everything. Large piles of wood, onto your sewing machine, the toilet, your kitchen cupboards...

#8- You remind your child that he can only "spit outside".

#7- You remind your child that he can only "throw balls outside".

#6- You remind your child that he can only "hit the floor and wood" with his hammer. (not people)

#5- Lining up cars to race is a favorite past time.

#4- He is un-fazed by spankings.

#3- You hear car, truck, train, and airplane noises interspersed throughout conversation, and even during prayers.

#2- You have to explain why we can't turn the air compressor on right now.

#1- "Poop" has become a common topic of conversation (his, not ours) as well as the topic of many made-up songs.

We love our boy. More than we can ever explain. But it sure gets interesting! And here is a video of his softer side--singing along (and dancing!) to "Mighty to Save".

LOVE the list and the video is awesome! What a sweet heart in that boy! Jason was hoping to get to see him when you come to visit in May. He always gets a kick out of Ollie stories! In fact, we periodically say, "Making it...sticker charge..."
