mine, all mine

these 2.

2 of a kind.

my 2 boys.

well, i never in my wildest dreams imagined that i would have 2 boys. at most, in my mothering fantasies, i would have a boy and a girl, or maybe 2 girls. well, it turns out one really has no choice in the matter. so here i am, sister of 3 brothers, friends of mostly boys growing up, a mother of boys. i am the least tomboy person i know, so do i relate to boys? yup, i do. i discovered a long time ago that boys are way more sensitive than we imagine and are a lot more needy of our love than we suspect. so while i would have loved the chance to decorate a room all in pink, or dress a little girl up, a child of mine, boy or girl, turns out to be a gift no matter what, and in fact a chance to appreciate boys "from the ground up".

love, love, love,
love is all you need...
