Having parented three boys to adulthood and one of those to marriage, still parenting two boys, I have enjoyed learning with my boys.  I have gone out and looked under the car hood with all of them. Watched as they worked on cars.  Gone to admire the work of my married son, who builds houses, and walked through and asked questions.  I have listened to their music.  I have been their cheerleader at all of their sports events.  I have taken them by themselves to eat lunch.  I have asked about relationships with girls, and prayed.  I have tried to delight in what they delight in so I could talk with them on the subject. This year we all followed UT football and I learned to text so I could communicate through the games to each of them, who were other places watching the game.  The hardest has been learning to release them and let them grow, watch them fall, and there to listen when they made a mistake.  I have loved the world of boys. I still have two to discover the world of boys with and I am sure their passions will be different then the three before them...so more time to learn.

My boys are 4 and 20 months.  They are still very much in the mommy's boy stage.  I'm loving all the sweet kisses and snuggles and I love you's.  I don't want it to end! 

As a Mom to 3 little boys I have had my far share of sports, trucks, blocks and rough tumble play.  But I have also bought each boy (when they were little) their very own baby doll and stroller.  I think it is very important for boys to have a doll to copy me being a mommy. 
One other important thing that we do is make sure we have time to just sit and talk.  Dinner, before bed, or just a quiet few minutes during the day.  I want them to feel they can talk to me about anything...I might as well start when they are little.
