The Difference between Boys & Girls...according to me:

Do you ever feel like all you do all day is clean up one mess after another?! Owen is into EVERYTHING! I feel like I am going crazy! He learned how to open our doors recently, so now everything is in lock down mode! :0) And boy does he get mad when he finds the doors locked! he he he! Having a boy is so much different than girls! Everyone warns you of that, but you don't appreciate the difference till you can experience it yourself. He is so much more physical than the girls are. He loves to wrestle & body slam everyone-including our dog Sammy. Owen likes to throw anything he gets his hands on & what is the fascination with carrying around rocks? He has been climbing our stairs & up onto the kitchen bar since he was 1! The pictures above are from the first (but not last!) time I caught him climbing our fountain in the backyard-it was last August when he was only 13 months old! My girls never did stuff like that-especially that young. He is such a cutie though-how can you get mad at that grin?! Plus, he is such a ham & thinks he is being so big, that it makes it hard to get upset at him. I just love him to pieces-& he is such a momma's boy sometimes-I love it! It's weird cuz before I had kids I pictured myself with all boys. I really look forward to soccer, T-Ball, flag football-you name it! Bring it on!

Girls on the other hand-OH MY DRAMA! Sometimes I wonder if they have PMS?! Seriously! They can be so emotional & dramatic-it get's a little crazy sometimes. Averee can cry & throw a fit at the drop of a hat! But they can also be so sweet, & you can't beat the dress-ups, dolls & love for dance! But my two girls are so different from each other! Averee is all girl. She loves ballet, dress-ups, & of course anything princess. She gets her feelings hurt really easy, but half the time we don't even realize what happened, then she says 'you hurt my feelings mom'. ...Cringe...It is usually some little thing that wasn't even meant to be mean that happened 3 hours ago! She is just super sensitive sometimes, so we have had to get used to that. Averee is getting so smart & learning new stuff all the time. She usually surprises me with how much she understands & remembers. Adelyn loves the all the princess stuff too, but is much more of a tomboy. She loves making people laugh & being funny. She is such a ham & loves to shake her booty to get a laugh. Should we be worried? :0) Lately she is having a hard time listening & obeying-(mostly she ignores me till I start counting to 3) which tells me we are entering the "Terrible 3's"! AAAHHHH! Whoever said it was the "Terrible 2's" must not have made it to 3! :0)

Like all you moms out there-I just love my kids to death. They make everything else worth it, ya know? Is there anything better than your kid saying 'Mom, I love you. Now come read my book'. Which I am lucky enough to get to do all day if we want! Hooray for Motherhood!
