It's a Boy!

We found out recently we are having a boy. Did we care one way or the other? Not really. I confess to feeling like I'm more comfortable with girls because I understand them, I know how they think, I know their emotions. Boys? Not as much. I've been spending alot of time trying to tune into my young six year old son. Result? He amazes me. There is an undeniable bond between a mother and her son. When I see him acting like a gentleman, being considerate, or doing something consistent with what our family's values are, I am full. I am proud. I am tearful. (That may just be the hormones.) I love him dressed up like a little man. I love him all dirty, sweaty, and smelly. I love him watching him sleep. He makes me laugh. I decided what most kids need is the same--boy or girl. Love. Knowing I love them and knowing there is nothing they can do or not do to change that. Knowing that I like the person they are. I hope they know all of these things.
