I’m continually baffled and sometimes in awe of boy behavior. They express themselves in such a different way from my experience. Sometimes it’s too much and I must correct them, but sometimes it’s so sweet. In the last two days I’ve had some of the most lovable moments with my boys that I just wanted to share with you for a collective “Ahhh…”
Monday was just one of those days. To admit the truth, I didn’t do my morning meditation or my yoga, so it just goes to show me. Anyway, BigBoy was not listening to me and was not picking up the toys off the floor and out of my room. Don’t you know, I stepped on that stupid, yellow metal jet and cut my foot. Of course this was all happening when BabyD was screaming and the dog was at my heels wanting something. I yelled a loud profanity and I swear I could have thrown that yellow jet like a ninja star toward BigBoy, but I held it and screamed some more. I gimped back to my room while I heard BigBoy break into sobs because undoubtedly I scared him. He apologized. I apologized. All was well.
But then again there was BabyD who just couldn’t get the day started on the right foot. He was crying and hitting and pushing our buttons. I start my deep breathing and turned on the hot water for a shower. “Just two minutes alone and quiet, please” I prayed. I could hear the boys playing (and fighting, but they’ll work it out) down the hall. I saw my moment and jumped into the shower. I love HOT showers. Lots of good thinking and relaxing happens there. As I was toweling off and putting on lotion, BigBoy walks in and says to me, “I protected you from Baby and here’s a band aid, Mom.” OMG…how endearing is that? Love them!
Yesterday, I was blow drying my hair and the boys were jumping on my bed. BabyD comes around because he likes when I shoot the blow dryer at him. We were laughing and carrying on and he starts screaming “Bug! Mommy! Mommy! Bug!” I look around but I don’t see it and his little pudgy legs run over to me fast and he starts stomping on the bug (I think it was a silverfish or something). He was protecting me from the bug. I said “Thank You BabyD!” and gave him the biggest hug ever. Love him!
Ahh how sweet it is to have my little boys looking after and protecting me. Chivalry is alive in my house!
