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!!!
What wonderful stories, thank you so much for sharing
My gf has the yummiest little man who loves cuddles & kisses, then is an excitable boy playing rough with daddy, then likes snuggles again. Very precious!!
My little man isn't quite one yet and I've had so many people comment on how much of a cuddle pot he is. I love when he snuggles up to me and rests his head in the crook of my neck. At the same time though he is a boys boy, he does everything with gusto, he loves his trucks and blocks and is very confident with other kids.
I just love him so much and I hope I'm still getting my cuddles in 20 years time.
Given that I have both genders... 1 girl and 2 boys (and I was a bit freaked out when I was told I was having a boy the first time) I can safely say that you are going to love having a son. My boys are very different: my older boy is gentle and quiet... my youngest is chatty and active. But Both are big on affection.
Raising Boys by Steve Biddolph will give you some good insight on what it's like to have a boy. They are meant to go throught stages of being mummy's boys and daddy's son! this correlates with their hormonal development... it's healthly and natural. Some families try to mess around with this process and insist that their sons stay one or the other. Some dad's never want their sons to appear "wussy" or ever be a mummy's boy. This can cause real problems, especially in how the boy relates to women in the future, for example.
Anyhow... going off topic... relax you are about to fall in love all over again!!!
