Out of my Element
What's the easiest way to scare a mom of three girls?
Leave her alone with three boys! And not just any boys.. but boys at home, in THEIR element, playing & laughing and being, well, boys!
I think about a third of the proofs involve someone tackling someone else... it took me almost half an hour to figure out that it was normal boy behavior and would not, in fact, end with tears & lengthy discussions about hurt feelings (as would be the case at my house).
No, these boys were up for absolutely everything.. and I think that's exactly what we did!
What amazed me the most was not how rough & tumble the boys could be, but rather how quickly they could turn it off too.... and instantly become so soft and sweet, quiet and reflective...
If only it lasted a *tiny* bit longer! :)
I will not deny we had fun... but boy oh boy was it exhausting!
