All Boy

James has shown a lot of boy characteristics lately.

He has been clawing at everything, including his face. And our faces. I hope this phase passes soon, ouch!

He’s a dirty boy. Peas up the nose….squash in the ears…sweat in the hair…lint in between fingers and toes…scratches in new places every day. (yes, we cut his nails :) ).

Loud mouth, right here. He loves to hear himself talk, and scream.

He tries to put everything in his mouth, no mater what size. He also loves to bang his toys together making as much noise as possible.

Every day at school, James pushes away from me and cranes his neck around to look at all the trucks and cars passing by. Sometimes we stand by the car for minutes watching things go by before going home. What is it about little boys and cars and trucks?

I’m thrilled to have a little boy full of snips and snails and puppy dog tails. Or dirt and lint and puppy dog hair really.
