Be prepared...

As a mom of boys, my life is filled with adventure. 

If you are lucky enough to be blessed with a little boy...

...or maybe two or three...

...be prepared to:

...dig in the dirt for worms and build worm houses out of boxes.

...remove grass stains and/or see knees peeking at you through not-so-old pants.

...watch them ride bikes, scooters, ...and anything else with wheels.

...step on the legos that are smattered throughout the house.  

...enjoy Tinker Toy contraptions as part of your permanent decor.

...buy stock in band-aids.

...require baths or showers every night in spring, summer, and fall. 

...drop everything to move playtime outside or inside.

...pitch millions of wiffle balls.

...have many buckets of "special rock collections."

...give kisses to dirt smudged cheeks.

...pause to watch big trucks.

...find legos and "guys" in your purse and coat pockets.

...hear Star Wars and superhero stories.

...spend 10 more minutes cleaning the bathrooms...they tend to sprinkle.

...find that little boys don't care if there are holes in their socks.

...let them wear their superhero pjs and rain boots to the grocery store.

...find joy in their smiles.

...be in awe of their imaginations.

...be loved.

Be prepared for the ride of your life.
