Playing along
I just decided that the sideways ones are called Stalagmucks

I just never imagined...

If I sit quietly, and close my eyes, I can see a picture. Like a slide show presentation of all three boys, as newborns, in my arms. I studied each face, smelled the folds of their necks. I wrapped my hand around each tiny foot to measure it. Only Max's toes lopped over the end of my palm, and sure enough, he's my tall boy - 25th percentile for height. A giant around here.

I memorized every curve and detail. I remember the first time I saw a dot of stained glass brown in their deep blue newborn eyes, and knew that this one, too, would not have my green eyes. I felt their weight against my chest, and breathed in the smell of their heads as silky hair tickled my nose. I drank in every detail of each little person that I would now have the pleasure of getting to know.

As I listened to each new squeek and sigh, I let myself imagine who they might become, what we might do together, where this new relationship would take us. So many mysteries ahead of us. So much to learn.

I simply never could have imagined JUST how funny farting would be to them, someday.

How true. A friend of ours gazed at my newborn son as he held him in his arms and said softly "It's hard to believe that one day he'll be a big hairy bloke". I think that every time I see a newborn boy, now. There's a big hairy bloke in there, just waiting to come out.

AH! You made me snort my tea! I can't tell you how often I have the "That is not funny to Mama. Please go in the bathroom if you're going to do that" conversation. BOYS!

THE FART FASTINATION IS INHERANT IN THE MALE BREED. WHEN BOB HAD A SPINAL FOR SURGERY ON HIS ANKLE A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, WE HEARD ALL THE WAY HOME HOW ODD IT FELT TO FART WITH A NUMB BUTT! HIS HOBBY IS EMBARASSING ME SO HE ALSO SHARED THE EXPERIENCE WITH OUR CHURCH FAMILY. FORTUNATELY, IT'S A TINY CHURCH!
