Boys!! (another starbucks giveaway!!)Contest Closed.

Sorry, this contest is closed now.

I don't know about all you folks out there, but living with boys is like living with a pack of wolves!! I live with two members of the male species, and I love them to both more than anything in the world. But I have to laugh sometimes at how boys are so much different from girls. Now, I may be slightly bias, as I have no daughter, but I did grow up with both a sister and a brother, and I have to say there is a definite difference. Boys a dirty, and love bugs; Girls are dainty and love pretty things. Now I'm not saying there aren't exceptions, My Barbie drove a Tonka Truck.

Ben is what makes me think of it. He is 3 years and 5 months old, and is a complete boy. He was movin' at an early age, he started crawling around 6 months, and walking at 8.5. And he hasn't stopped since. Full of bruises and bumps (permabruise - he's had them for 3 years. I keep waiting for them to go away. They never leave, they just move around a bit ) and more energy than any one person should be allowed to have. (Share Please)

Now, I say Ben is all boy because, he is drawn to "Boy Things" by nature. If he sees a dirt hill, he has to climb it. If there is a puddle in his path, Sploosh!! Cars, Trucks, Trains...OH MY! He loves to take things apart...to work with his hands. He can't get enough of his new Nerf dart guns. Ben and his father both have one. They shoot them up into the trees and see who can go higher. He loves music and always wants the "Rock and Roll" version of a song. Loves to play music he has a guitar and wants drums desperately. He's getting a full size set for Christmas thanks to his Grandfather out west. (I hope Mommy and Nana are getting earplugs for Christmas)

Now, Ben has a little girl cousin a year younger than him, and she is so cute and dainty. She poses for the camera, and flips her hair around. She just melts your heart. I couldn't imagine her getting into the same amount of messes that Ben does. ( Though I bet she's had some doozies of her own)

i have a boy and 2 girls there is a difference. but i have to think we are responsible for most of the difference. but there is something about boys and toys and girls and dressup that may be there at birth as well.

My friend has three boys (that doesn't include her husband, lol!) and I am amazed she is always in full control. Life with boys is hectic for sure!

I lived with some boy relatives and then some when I was in college so I wouldn't have to live in the dorm. Little did I know!The 'pack of wolves' feeling was multiplied :)

Considering I only have 2 girls, I can't say I know what you are going through. I once had a friend with 2 boys say that she heard that girls were easier when they were little and that boys were easier when they were in jr high/high school. Considering I have one just about to go into puberty, I'm thinking she may be right! :o) And on that note, yes, I do need Starbucks! Great giveaway - thanks for offering!

I have two boys, well three if you count my husband. A couple of months ago, I went to my neighbor in tears. I was having a bad day. She only has one child, who happens to be a girl. My neighbor told me that she does have it easier now. But she hears that girls are much harder in the teen years, and that she will probably be coming to me in tears someday down the road.

I have both also and somehow I think boys are easier. They are more "what you see is what you get." But boys have their moments, too!

I have three girls a 7yr old a 2yr old twins. My 7yr old is into bugs and bats and birds of prey, and fairies and princesses... She wants to dress up like a princess and then she ends up playing in the dirt.
The boys I know, tend to be more rumbunctious. Take care. My mantra is "its not long till bedtime"! :)
