Boys

When I was pregnant with Jaggar and found out that he was a boy, I wish I'd known how much fun he would be, and I wouldn't have wasted time on worry about what I'd do with a boy.  Because boys are wonderful.  Jaggar is wonderful. 

On Saturday, Jaggar was running through the house saying, "We're on a MISSION!"  I said, "What are you doing?"  Then I saw his ensemble.  His pj's were inside out and backwards.  I asked him about it and he said, "These are my mission clothes."  :)  A few days earlier, I was in the kitchen and saw him go flying off the couch in a leap while shouting, "TO INFINITY!  AND BEYOND!!!"
If he puts his own underwear on, there's a 90% chance they will be on backwards.  He likes to see the picture that is generally bigger on the back.  On this particular day, he had them on inside out AND backwards.  Fabulous, I know.
But he's a wonderful big brother.  As much as he loves his toys, he will put a dinosaur on Costner while he's in his seat.  I know once Costner actually WANTS the dinosaur that may change, but for now, he deserves the praise for it.
He is even a good little brother.  He is very nice about sharing his toys with Sage.  Can't say that's the same REVERSED, but she asked to play with his animals and he said, "Okay, just give them back."  Every time she gets in the car from school he will say, "Sage, did you have a good day?"  HE LOVES ICE CREAM.  2 weeks ago, we went to 32 degrees for the first time in almost a year.  It's TRUE, ELIZABETH.  :)  That didn't have much to do with diabetes initially.  It made me sick when I was pregnant, and I just never went back.  The kids were in heaven when we went.   JAGGAR thinks they have free refills on ice cream.
 
Mom and I took the boys to Garfrericks yesterday (translated:  Mom and I went to Garfrericks and just took the boys along), and Jaggar wanted a salad.  When he took a bite, he did not like it because, "It tastes like leaves."  SO, that was the end of that.
I took him to 32 degrees after that, and he literally eats every bite.  Every sprinkle.  Every ounce of ice cream.  EVERY.  SINGLE.  BITE.  What a funny guy he is.  He will never be lost as a "middle child."

We found that raising 2 boys was a wonderful experience, and we are getting to see the difference of little girls with our granddaughters. You get the joy of having both at the same time. What a blessing...MOST of the time, right? :)
