Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice?

Prior to 2004, I was a Mom of three boys. My three sons. We had trucks and trains and Legos. We dug in the dirt and played football. Soccer games were attended often. I loved being a mom so much that with each baby, it did not matter in the least what their gender was. I was so convinced that I was a "boy mama" that I was in complete disbelief when at my utlrasound for my fourth pregnancy, the tech said those words I thought I would never hear. "It's a girl!" It was exciting news. How could we be having a girl? After a few weeks of letting this sink in, I began to dream about the days when my little girl was here with us. Dressing her up in pretty dresses, her hair perfectly done. She would play with dolls and host tea parties for her big brothers. For surely she would have them wrapped around her little finger. She would be our princess!






Boy was I wrong!

  1. Haha!! I guess with 3 brothers for influence she would have to end up a little on the fearless, not so girly, side. ;-)

  5. But who could possibly be expected to resist a slimy, dirty worm?

  8. This sounds so familiar. My DD was not the cute frilly girly girl either. Maybe it has something to do with having older male siblings.

  11. Awe...so sweet! Lindsey is like this too! She doesn't want me to do her hair or wear dresses. Though, I don't think she would hold a worm:)

  15. I thought for sure my daughter would be girly. No such luck! They're probably more fun this way anyway. : )
