You Know You Have Boys When...
- Garbage Day is like Christmas every week. Actually, you think he'd be more disappointed if the garbage man didn't show up than if Santa didn't.
- Not only does he know your family's garbage day, but he has asked about and memorized your friends' and families' garbage days too.
- A siren going by anywhere within earshot is immediately followed by little feet pounding toward the front window, trying to catch a glimpse of the lights. And he can tell the difference between an ambulance, fire, and police siren, when you can't tell which is which.
- You have playdates with friends with little girls and have to ask if they're feeling okay because they actually sit and play. Quietly. Next to their mothers. At a park.
- You've explained at least 25 times why Mommy doesn't have a penis, both in private and public restrooms.
- You've discussed all the family members he can think of and who is a girl (doesn't have a penis) and who is a boy (does have a penis). Sorry- inquiring minds want to know!

Matteo asked when he could come to my house. I said maybe Monday ..said "no" it was garbage day.... but maybe after the garbage man comes. It's great to see life through a little boys eyes! Love, Grandma Jan
You know you have boys when..
...the immediate care medical center is called the "stitch doctor" (16 sets for 3 boys.)
...they are never clean.
...Mom mows the grass for peace and quiet.

Another thought...a good friend told me after boy #3 was born that "your toilet seat may never be down, but the weddings should be cheaper."
See you soon.

That's what Steve said when we found out Dario was a boy- "Another wedding we won't have to pay for!" And I'm not to thrilled about the toilet seat but I figure we'll save lots of money on toilet paper over the years. Sigh. It's tough being the only princess in the palace (for now anyway).
Man, you guys are making me rethink this "We only want boys" idea. Of course, Mike would be happy! And, Mike said that Matteo can come over anytime to watch Mike cut his hair and to get a haircut! :) Jenni
Things have changed......as Grandma Braley use to tell me.....you never know...you might have to pay for your son's wedding. Just wait until Matteo and Dario decide to stuff beads up their noses! or sprinkle cleanser all over the kitchen floor....pile books on Dad while he is sleeping on the floor.....
boys will keep you busier when they are younger, but much easier than girls as teenagers!

You know you have boys when:
1.) The term "asparagus poo" is often used and understood.
2.) The response you receive after saying "look at the pretty flowers" is "let's hammer stuff."
3.) You have become a pretty darn good wrestler
4.) You don't even care that your kid has scabs on his face, dirt under his fingernails, and food on his shirt when out in public, because at least he isn't screaming out "mommy has huge nipples!"
