After about 30 minutes outside, this is what Atti's pants looked like. Looking at these pants, I was thinking how I love having a boy. I am not saying that girls can't be rough and tumble too. I loved getting dirty was I was young. But there is just something about little boys. Atticus will go out of his way to jump in a mud puddle, he loves rocks, sticks, and bugs. His favorite pastimes are sword battles, "baseball", and jumping off anything. Who knows if it is nature or nurture, but this kid was perfectly suited to my personality. I love that he has wild side, and isn't really afraid of much. Sure, this behavior will leave me holding my breath on many occasions, and covering my eyes as he attempts some new tricks. I am sure there will be lots and bumps and bruises, and most likely stitches in our future too. But, I wouldn't have it any other way.
"Snakes, and snails, and puppy dog tails, that is what little boys are made of"
