Raising a young guy is such a gift.
A tiny boy just has a certain charm.
He will be the most effortless love you have ever experienced.
You will always see the baby you held in your arms, even if he may be bold, daring, and as boisterous as they come when he is finally quiet and asleep in his crib.
Sometimes, just watching him might wear you out since he may have more energy in his pinky finger than you do in your entire body. Actually, there are instances when it’s best not to watch.
You will need to constantly remind him to be nice and “a little more quiet, please,” as well as to take a shower for heaven’s sake, because he may be rough, noisy, and filthy.
Your couch, chairs, tables, railings, toilets, and walls will never be the same, and you have no idea where he stores all the food he consumes.
However, you are aware that one day the refrigerator will be stocked and the cushions will remain on your couch, and the mere thought of it makes your throat turn.
He will pretend to be brave, but what he really needs in the calm seclusion of his chamber will be your kind words of consolation. And you will be the person he turns to when his heart is broken and his feelings are wounded.
