I’m new to the world of mothering boys.
It started a little over two years ago, when our world was already quaking with big changes. I found out we would have a new baby in our arms that fall.
Then we found out it would be a boy.
My husband’s reaction was immediate. This was true with our daughters, too, but it was a very different reaction to this news of a boy.
“Oh boy,” he sighed. “We’re going to have to make some changes.” It turns out he was thinking of his own boyhood orneriness and anticipating what was to come.
I was just unsure of what I would do with a little boy. I figured I had things down, being on kid number three, but oh, how wrong I was!
I thought I wanted a girl! But I got 2sons and they are the light of my life! They are adults and married but they still worry about their mother! And I often think about Jesus with his mother, fussing over her and looking out for her. Great reflection.
Wonderful article — and as the mother of boys, I could relate! 🙂 Thank you!
