This one hit close to home. I felt that way too--that I needed a little girl to see parts of myself in. But now, as I observe Eldest's love of words, Middle's quick impatience, and Baby's entire face (he IS my mini-me), I know I am in them. Oh yes.

This is a great post. Since I hadn't found you back then, it was new to me.

I'm like that too. I love that he needed a few minutes to write down what was in his head. So cool.

Beautiful post. I have written extensively in the last few months about my only son (between two girls) who has now gone off to college. You won't regret moments like an extra thirty minutes to put down his thoughts. I still have pictures and thoughts from when my boy was that age. They mean nothing to him, everything to me.

I never thought I would feel a conection with my son like I do.
Little boys do have their magic.

The joy of parenting is to see how the bits and pieces of you are scattered among your children...hair color on this one, curve of the eyebrow on that one, and yes aptitudes count. Thanks for the lovely piece.

Fantastic... I'm glad you were able to see yourself in him.
I, too, have two boys. I can't imagine it any other way. But I won't say I don't enjoy my nieces and living vicariously through their mothers when I get to see them. ;)
It's hard to find glimpses of me in them... but thankfully I'm not much of a girlie girl.

I'm sending this link to my sister, the Momma of three boys, and the sister of three girls.

I was terrified when I found myself pregnant with Little A--afraid she'd be a boy--I'm still not convinced I'd know what to do with them.

But the histrionics and drama? Yeah, there are many days I'd trade them for frogs and fist fights.

I love this.

You have a soft heart, my dear! I feel as though I wrote this myself - I am a mother of 2 boys and I share your sentiments...Awww!

Just as you felt you'd be inept at raising a boy, you'd quickly learn to manage all the "baggage" that comes with a girl. My experience.....girls are high maintenance (at least my daughter is). We are in the midst of all the teenage drama and at this point, Dad can do nothing right.

My son has always been the easy one to raise. In my case it's true....God only gives you as much as you

Thank you. That was lovely.

Sometimes my ten year old steals downstairs to beg for more time to read.

They are so soft then.

2007-10-22T07:21:00.000-05:00

You know, I often wonder what in the world I'd do if I'd had two boys instead of girls. I also wonder if my husband ever secretly wishes we'd had at least one boy, but when I ask him, he assures me that he is happy with his two girls. I also think he is pleased as punch whenever someone tells him Becca is like a little female version of him. And she is--personality, looks, everything. But then

2007-10-22T06:45:00.000-05:00

I was SO happy when I found out I was having a boy. Knowing that this would most likely be my only child, I got what I desired most. I'm sure if I had been having a girl, I would have adjusted to the idea and loved her as much. But like you, I have little tolerance for the histrionics and spitefulness. I love the company of men, who are more laid back than me, with my masculine mind and my

2007-10-22T06:23:00.000-05:00

Great post. I was the opposite - always saw myself raising boys, maybe because I was such a tomboy myself and figured I would have an easier time relating to boys. I ended up with four girls. Not one solitary boy. And I couldn't be happier with them. :)
