boys vs. girls (and the new place)

Being the mom of a boy and also the mom of a girl, I can attest that the two are very different. The workers at the YMCA childcare center will agree wholeheartedly that my little munchkins are nothing alike...

Noah will sometimes be so well behaved that I have to blink and make sure it is really him sharing and playing nice with his peers. Usually by the time I open my eyes from the blink, he has sucker puched or tackled some kid while yelling at him to shut up. Then when I ask him why he did that he will say "you don't do that, you don't say that, that's not nice." hmmmm

Autumn on the other hand will play quietly by herself for the entire two and a half hour time limit and the staff seem reluctant to let her go home with me.

Now that we have transitioned from a girls home into a boys home, I have noticed additional differences. The girls we had were minimally dramatic, but had many more needs than our laid back, fun loving boys. I have heard that the big boys are still known to sucker punch in the blink of an eye, but so far the only bully living in our house is my three year old.

PS POTTY TRAINING FUN-

I love it here. we have found the right church and all 3 of our boys r believers. it's a very amazing season for healing, growth and God's power!!
