What is it with little boys????

First: Natalie NEVER gave me a hard time about what she was going to wear to school. She may have asked to wear something like a fancy dress or she may have mildly protested my choice. We would have a conversation about it and if she had a good reason then I may have changed what she was going to wear. William just refuses to wear certain things. He REFUSED to wear jeans yesterday! Now normally I say go get dressed and as long as he looks some what ok I’ll let him go to school in what he picks. Yesterday I wanted him to wear jeans for a change, so the teacher knows he has some “nice” clothing and not just swishy pants and sweats. But NO he had something else in mind.

I just find it funny that my little girl didn’t care about what she was wearing as much as her brother does. There are many days that I will pull something out and tell William to put it on and he says “What are we going to church today”? I tell him no just put it on! I had to prep him the night before picture day; I pulled out what he was wearing and showed him. I told him that was what he was going to wear. For that day he didn’t give me a hard time at all, he just said “Ok, I’m going to get my picture taken”.


Second: What possess little boys to roll their cars on the walls at other people’s homes? Oh yes it left marks! Luckily it was someone’s house who loves him (sometimes more than I do) so much that they won’t hold it against him!


Third: After having a thousand conversations about how to give our left over food to the dog, WHY can’t he remember the rules? What would make him break the crust of his bread into little pieces and toss it onto the floor, like he’s feeding ducks at a pond. Just sitting in his chair at the island and tossing pieces of bread onto the floor all around him, (the ducks must have been spread out in the pond) just “feeding the ducks”. The best part of his little feeding session; the dog wasn’t even in the house at the time to clean up after him!
