New to blogging, not new to the Joy of the Boy!

So many people who hear that we have 5 sons and no daughters are speechless!  I like those people.  Then there are the people who say "gosh, that's trouble", "you must be so disappointed!", "are you going to try for another one?", "hopefully this next one is a girl" and so on... MAB's understand this (Mom's of all boys). 

But here is thing.  Boys are glorious!
Here are 50 reasons why boys are truly awesome and amazing. 

1.  Boys touch gross things without crying

2.  Boys can pee standing up, out the van door, on the side of the highway so mama doesn't freeze on those last minute "I have to go pee!"

3.  If your neighbour gets lice, you can just shave all your boys heads!

4.  Boys are brave and strong and make good husbands one day!

5.  Boys like the thought of eating gross things - which is perfect when you go to someones house and they have never tried something (just try it Ewan - they are made from chicken's eyeballs!)

6.  Boys love their Mama's

7.  Boys get messy and don't care

8.  Boys can wear dirty clothes and everyone ignores it since they are boys and boys get dirty

9.  You always have lots of pants to turn into shorts come summer since the knees only last one season!

10.  Boys play rough and tough and its fun to watch!

11.  Boys dont need fancy hairdo's - so it only takes us 5 seconds to get them ready in the morning!

12.  Boys don't get crushes on little girls since they have girl germs. 

13.  Boys like to climb trees, and so do mamas!

14.  Boys love to play outside all day long!  Makes for a very quiet house!

15.  Boys like to play toy cars and those are only 99 cents at walmart!

16.  Boys take out garbage with joy for their mama's since its a "man's job!"

20.  Boys can get stitches and think the scar is going to be "soooooo coool!"

21.  Boys kill gross things for their mama!!!!!

22.  Boys say silly things

23.  Boys dance like gorillas and aren't shy about it

24.  Boys like to do hilarious karate moves

25.  Boys were made in God's image from dust and so they are just too awesome! 

26.  Boys think that being made of "snips and snails and puppy dogs tails" is just perfect

27.  Boys laugh at the thought of wearing silly high heels so their feet will never suffer

28.  Boys don't think they need make up to be perfect

29.  Boys can burp and toot almost on command.  So funny (as long as its not at the dinner table!)

30.  Boys will never need to pluck their eyebrows or shave their legs (we are lucky if they shave their face!)

31.  Boys think growing chest hair is super awesome.

32.  Boys are resiliant and bold and fearless

36.  Boys like to help mama lift heavy things to show off their muscles

37.  Boys like to lick the spoon from the cookies after they did the stirring since mama's arm was (fake) tired.  Good thing they are so strong!

38.  Boys are sweet and loving and sensitive too

39.  Boys call their underwear "ginchies" which is such a funny word!

40.  Boys like to be soldiers and knights and heroes. 

41.  Boys don't think its strange to want to be a dinosaur when they grow up

42.  Boys like to protect their families and most of all - their mamas.

43.  Boys like things that are fast, high and scary and this helps them learn to be brave. 

44.  Boys wouldn't bother wasting time changing the baby doll's diaper - they would call the baby's mother to come do it!

46.  Boys grow into your grandchildren's daddies.

47.  Boys are born being able to make the sound a car makes. 

48.  Boys are quick to solve their disputes (though it may be through force - lol!) and don't drag issues out.

49.  Boys are adorable and sweet and smelly.

50.  Boys bless everyone around them with joy.

That is just a few things that came to my mind as I watch 4 of my 5 sons pretending to be man eating lions under my kitchen table.  I praise the Lord for the amazing life he has given me through raising these boys to be strong and mighty warriors.  Now I am off to convince them that it isn't a good idea to try to climb up the Christmas tree. 

Blessings!
