Thoughts and dreams

Growing up as a little girl I think it's in us all to dream about growing up and having our own family an what it will be like and the things we will do, I know I did any how! As a little girl I can remember thinking to the future and imagining what my 'prince charming' would be like and then some day we would have children and of course I imagined having a little girl of my own, again what girl doesn't? Thinking of all the things you can teacher her, doing her hair, painting her nails, playing tea party and with baby dolls. All the things I did as a girl I would get to do again with my own little girl, how cool!

Now here I am all grown up, with my 'prince charming' kind of ( love you hunny!) and my own child... A little boy! Wait a second this was not a part of the plan, this was not in my dreams! (Now before you get your panties in a bunch let me just say I LOVE my little man more than life itself! I would not trade him for anything! )

So now what? I'm a girl, a women I mean what can I teach a little boy? I don't know anything about boys well nothing I can teach him anyways. I like the color pink, and doing my hair, and wearing heels and playing with dolls. I am not a big fan if getting dirty, lord knows I really dislike creepy crawly things (praying Corbin NEVER brings a snake home), and I pee sitting down! I have nothing to offer this child, my little man, I have to hand him over to his father, he knows best, ugh, in this instance any ways.

Well I am here to tell you I think I may have had it all wrong! Maybe everyone has it all wrong. Since having my little man I have had the opportunity to teach him so many things, for starters he knows how to give the best snuggles cause of me (smiles), as he is growing and learning we now work on his vocabulary and how to do new and exciting things everyday! Today though, today really made me change my mind about it all. For me when I think of a father son relationship the first picture that pops into my head is of a little boy standing next to his dad in the bathroom mocking him while he shaves, now tonight I had my own 'shaving' moment!

Getting ready for bed as usual I go into the bathroom to brush my teeth, now this is something we have recently started doing with Corbin too so he had already brushed his 'tees' for the night. Well that didn't stop him, he hear me turn on the sink and he bolted in, hurried his little leg up onto the toilet and pulled himself up to stand on it, next to me, to watch as I brushed me 'tees'! Made me giggle as I watched him watch me he was just so fascinated by the whole act. He then looked around and saw it, the extra tooth brush in the cup we put the for him. His eyes lit up as he grabbed it and looked at me and said 'tees' and then held out the brush. Who could resist that, not me that's for sure! So I turned on the water and he stretched his arm out to wet the brush and began to brush aka suck the water out of the brush. As I rinsed and spit so did he, watching my moves to make sure he didn't miss a beat. Once we were all done he put his brush back just like I did and then smiled at me with a look of accomplishment. I was so happy and proud and full of joy, I had taught him that!

The moral of this story, he may not play with dolls or pee sitting down but I sure am teaching him a lot! Man do I love that little boy!
