I get it all the time, and it's very different from the usual comments on children in general. There's quite often a cluck-clucking "poor you" tone to the comments, as if I was the unlucky one to end up with only boys! It's truly bizarre!Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239709970883575853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8532087472191027011.post-51886078263076166932007-03-23T13:27:00.000-05:002007-03-23T13:27:00.000-05:00Yeah, but isn't it just that there is a special pl...Yeah, but isn't it just that there is a special place in heaven for ALL moms of wild, wonderful, young, energetic, challenging, tiring babies/toddlers/preschoolers/children? Maybe it wasn't an insult to your boys, just a reflection that you have a hard (but, obviously, wonderful) job, as all we moms do, and we should/will be rewarded for that? I have to admit, if someone had said that to me about my two girls, I probably would have assumed (perhaps wrongly) that she just meant, "Wow, you have a tough job wrangling two lovely children under the age of three" and I probably would have laughed and said, "Yes, I guess so!" Maybe I'm a bit dim. I swear, since having babies my brain has been muddled half the time. I attribute it to never getting any real sleep anymore.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02048943082445040917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8532087472191027011.post-43312427850469850452007-03-23T11:51:00.000-05:002007-03-23T11:51:00.000-05:00P.S.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE ...I could not agree more, Jordan. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my two boys to pieces and watch them with awe. I was thinking last night as I watched them run in circles, however, that if I had even one 1/4 of their energy I would RULE THE WORLD. :-) <BR/><BR/>We are SO psyched about your beach and bringing the cozy corner outside, by the way.
