Boys, What Isn't in the Baby Manual

I am so lucky to have 2 wonderful healthy boys. They make me so happy on every level. Even their strops make me smile some times. However I really had no idea what I was getting into when I brought Jack home from hospital. Now I am not generalising, this is based on facts and experience of learning the ropes as a Mum with my 2 Boys. So here are the 10 things that no one ever mentioned when I brought my new clean baby boys home from hospital. 

Day 7, 100 Happy Day

Day 7.

Today can only be one thing;  Being a Mum.

It is my favourite Job I have ever done. I find it incredibly hard some days, making the correct decisions that could affect the rest of their lives.  Disciplining when I want to laugh, guiding on the correct path that is not lead by my own dreams, but  centred around their hopes and dreams, and guiding them away from making  poor choices.

 So much pressure  to make them into well rounded thoughtful young men. I think judging by their behaviour,  now trust me I am under no illusions that my children are angels. I really believe anyone that thinks that is totally delusional, because who is perfect?  But they are on the right track to being the Men I hope they one day will be, kind, happy, thoughtful,  healthy, and successful in whatever they want to achieve in life.

From Babies to Boys

Being new to the blogging community I have spent hours reading and following other peoples blogs, and have been struck by the lack of people discussing life with older Children, there are reams and reams of lovely blogs writing about toddlers and babies. I have not seen many talking about older children, and teenagers. 

They must be out there surely; I just haven't found them yet. I have read quite a few Mummy blogs about younger children and they are great, bringing back many happy memories. Isn't it funny how you see sleepless nights, and potty training through rose tinted glasses when it over.

I think I must have spent those years in autopilot, however now I have survived them I look back at them fondly wondering where the time went.
