Boys

I love having boys. I'm sure girls are fun too, but I don't really know any better. I keep thinking I'm really good at the boy thing, and then something odd comes up- something that reminds me that boys... are a little weird.

Like yesterday. I had to buy a cup. Sounds innocent enough until I mention that it was for Little League! Seriously? Yes. A "jock protector" as Jackson calls it. Did you know they sell little straps? I couldn't even look at them without laughing! Luckily they also have something similar to boxers that has a handy little pocket in the front for inserting a "helmet" (Max's definition). 

And then Jackson and Max spent the entire afternoon knocking on Jackson's crotch with various hard objects. Boys. Weird.

Oh Jamie...I can just see it now...one of these days they're going to forget to put the "helmet" in and get hurt! Tell Jackson I have the same exact hat as he does!! LOve you!!

How cute is he in his baseball uniform! I wish I could come to his games! And I'll be calling you for boy advice-alot.

I am laughing out loud. I had never considered that this very scenario could be part of my future.

Uuummmm...yeah. But chances are they won't think you're an idiot when they are teenagers like (some people's) daughters do.

It's a trade off.
