There are many things I’ve done wrong but these children are not one of them. I’m so proud of the exceptional little humans our children are.
Raising boys has unique challenges. I want to encourage them to be exactly who they are but at the same time model empathy, sensitivity, and kindness so we raise boys who will grow up to be responsible and aware men. People often ask me if I wished we had a girl and I’m quick to always reply with “no.” While it may seem harsh that I don’t even consider it, I’ve always felt I was destined to be a mother to boys. I know nothing about sports and I don’t even watch them. I don’t like wrestling or playing rough. I leave all those things to Shawn. I grew up playing with dolls and dress up. My interests were dance, and makeup, and modeling classes. So even though I’m just about as “girly”as can be I’m also strong and intelligent. So I hope to serve as an example for my boys that women are many things and most of all precious.
Wishing all the precious mothers a very happy Mother’s Day.
