As I sit down at my laptop with my freshly poured jasmine tea, (with a hint of honey to make it palatable!,) I have started to ponder on the most intriguing creatures in the world - little boys!!! Some may argue that little girls are the most intriguing, but having a house of smelly bums and no pink in sight, I have a tendency to focus on the male of the species!!!!!
In the 6 years that I have been a mother, I have learnt a few things in that time - some are trivial and of no consequence, and some things are so amazing I'm surprised they're not being investigated by Today Tonight!!! Here are a few things just as a start:-
1. From the moment you find out that you're pregnant, you start worrying.
2. From the moment you find out you're having a boy, you (as a woman,) get a little wary of those extra bits that seem to have a mind of their own!!
3. It's perfectly acceptable to be in love with more than one man at a time - I'm currently in love with three of them!!!! Two just happen to be smaller than the larger one!!!
4. There are three stages of boyhood - the first six years they love their mum, the next six or so they love their dad, and the next six after that they loathe both and need other peers in their lives, cause their folks are old and have no idea by then!!!!
5. Boys are wired differently to girls - it's a proven scientific fact!!! It's not that they can't hear you, so don't waste your money on ear candles and ENT Specialists, it's just that what your'e saying isn't interesting or helpful, so best just give up talking and wait for them to come to you - if you succeed at this, please let me know how to do it without going crazy!!!
6. Little boys are only helpless for a few years - not long after they learn how to pee standing up, they will pretty much try and do everything themselves, from buttering their toast, to cutting out your favourite magazine - it's all a learning process, and we as the grown ups are the one's who are learning the most!!
7. When boys have been in trouble, and they look at you with those big beautiful eyes, they know that they are only going to be in half as much trouble - they learn very early on that women are suckers for beautiful eyes - I know it' what got me in trouble in the first place!!!
Next week we'll be having our last few days off before school starts back the next week - so I might just take the time to laugh, dance and enjoy my little boys, cause they will never be this little again!!!
