being mum to a little boy is fabulous! I have learnt so much from my son. I grew up with 3 sisters and my mum, an all girl house, so i sorta freaked when i found out i was havin a boy. I now understand boys so much more and also understand why mums tend to spoil their boys more than their girls. To have your little boy tell you that he loves you so much and to see him being so caring and gentle to other kids just makes me so proud that i am raising a loving caring boy who will treat women with respect. My boy is a mummies boy without a doubt, he is forever running up for a kiss and a cuddle, or telling me im a gorgeous mum. You will be an amazing mum toyour little boy, enjoy the ride!
He's nothing I expected, I'll give him that. He's very tidy (puts his toys away, likes to load the dishwasher and washing machine, helps put the pans away stacked neatly) and HATES mess: I was expecting muddy clothes every day but he won't go near it (his only upset in nursery is when they do messy play and he touches something sticky or messy!). He's also really empathic and if he sees that I'm upset he runs up and gives me a huge hug. He loves his kisses and cuddles.
He's also not exactly behind on his talking, as everyone predicted. He amazes people by playing with a car and saying "brrrm brrrm" as he moves it around. He's very physical and loves exploring, but keeps needing cuddles so he knows he is safe while exploring.
He loves the big kids and keeps pace with his friends who are twice his age, which amazes me, he's very strong (all the little girls have told me how strong he is when he picks heavy stuff up!) and he's still kind and gentle... OK so he has to be reminded sometimes but he can play nicely with little babies, girls and animals most of the time.
I could post even more adoring comments but boys are great. OK, so I only really wanted a boy when I was pregnant so may be a little biased but you really can't love them enough.
I love my little man! He may only (just) be 1, but knows how to be a boy! Rough, in the dirt, not afraid of anything - but can get sooky and be a mummas boy. There will come a point where I'm hoping he'll grow out of that, but for now, love my hugs and kisses - most of them at the most unsuspecting times!
I didn't find out what I was having - and was sprung with a boy! What do you do with a boy? Love him all you can! You're going to be a great mum!
I don't know what I'd do if I was to have a girl next - what do you do with girls?! lol
I have one of each and my little boy is as rough as guts - he's a man's man!! But he is also extremely affectionate, and he lives for cuddles and kisses and snuggles with his mama Since birth, he needed to be held alot more than his sister ever did. He's also extremely possessive of me, he gets SO riled up at DD when she curls up on my lap or feels she's stealing my attention
Little boys are so much fun....they're rough and ready but they really, really love their mums
OMG it is sooo awesome! My DS gets lots of cuddles from me and DH and loves them. He voluntarily gives us lots of hugs and kisses. Of course now that he is walking sometimes is too 'busy' LOL but he is really affectionate little guy. I think humans are naturally very affectionate and allowing them to be that goes a long way in encouraging hugging etc. We also never force him to hug or kiss anyone so he only does it when he wants to. And he does it a lot!
After just girls for so many years DS has definitely been a steep learning curve but an experience I wouldn't swap for anything. I love watching him imitate daddy and be so boyish but then still give me cuddles and kisses when the mood takes him (and say "no kisses" when he isn't LOL)
I am forever grateful I have got to experience both daughters and a son cause its so different yet both so wonderful.
When I found out I was having a little boy with Sammy, I was in such a shock. I have never yearned for either sex as I see a healthy baby as a blessing whatever the gender, but honestly I feel so lucky to experience having a little boy.
Hes such a cuddle pot! Not so independent as the girls..its just different. There is such a beautiful energy around little boys. Sammy is now 3 and its "Mummy is my dad tumin home soon."..or "Mummy i miss you so much...i love you so much."
It melts my heart seeing Sammy and Darren together. Sammy tries to copy everything Darren does and Darren is the least blokey man around but they do things together like bringing in the wood and chainsawing branches(Sammy watches by afar but feels included)
Now Sammy is going to be a big brother to a sister, so he will be the only boy in our family and i think its wonderful....you are going to love it!!!
My son is only 6 months old but I love having a little boy. I would have a dozen boys if I could. Boys are mummy's boys, loves cuddles, have a great sense of humour, are inquisitive and cheeky. They are amazing. Don't stress. You`ll be a great mummy.
I have 2 boys and 2 girls and my boys are 7 and 9 y/o. My oldest boy likes to show how tough and independent he is but he still likes to snuggle with me on the lounge. He has started to ignore me in public lol but I have expected that.
My 7 y/o is the complete opposite. He has always been a snuggle bun : ) He is starting to show his independence too so will expect all PDA to stop soon to.
All my children are loving and love to have kisses and cuddles (my eldest is 13). I'm glad that all of them have not stopped wanting our kisses and hugs.
I haven't found any difference between my girls and my boys in the affection stakes.
