Let's hear it for the boys!

So...I have two little boys.  They are loud and sometimes wild and they love to get muddy and... they are amazing!!  I am really none of those things ;)  I really don't like to get all dirty for no apparent reason and I'm really not very loud.  And while I don't really feel like I've mastered the way to play cars with them or how to build a cabin with lincoln logs without studying the box, I LOVE how being surrounded by "boys" has taught me so much about them and how they think and work and just how amazing God made them....




I'm sure you have all already heard of the MOB Society (or Moms Of Boys) blog, but just in case someone hasn't I wanted to share it with you.  While I absolutely love being a mom to boys, I sometimes feel unsure of how to handle certain situations because I can't always relate to them completely...and they are only 2 & 4, so I'm sure I will run into situations like this more and more as they get older.  I love how the MOB Society's blog states that they are "Reaching the hearts of boys for the Gospel & preparing a generation of men to love the Lord."  As parents we have such a huge responsibility to teach our children and to train them up in the way they should go (Proverbs 22:6), and as a mom of boys I desire so deeply for my boys to be men of integrity and purity and honor....  I am grateful that I'm not on that road alone.  I'm thankful that I have an amazing husband by my side and most importantly that the Lord is in control of our lives.  I pray that I can, that we can, always direct them to the Lord...!  The MOB Society is a wonderful resource and encouragement for moms of boys.  You should check them out if you haven't already :)  This is a post I read there recently that really spoke to me:  Do You See The Warrior?




I am after-all a girl outnumbered by boys!














After I wrote this, I realized the MOB Society has a new link-up called "Let's hear it for the boys"!  I really did not know that when I titled this post!!

Thank you for posting this. I too am a mom of two boys and some days it is all I can do to not to lock myself in a closet and wait for the chaos to subside. :D

Oooh, how fun! Just today I was wondering how I can explain to my 5-year-old son that it's truly not appropriate to scratch his tushie at school. I bet that's covered at the m.o.b. site. Thank you. Love YOUR site as well...great post!

I think you will be even better able relate to your boys if you jump in mud puddles with them. SO, the next time we get a good rain, I'll bring my extra pair of rubber boots over ;)
