10 things daddy should know about mommy raising boys!

A few weeks ago I asked my hubby to guest blog " what ever daddy wants mommy to know" you can read it here. I had already had this post blogged a few weeks prior but waited to post it. As you can see we both took two different approaches. I love it though!

Ten things every daddy should know about a mommy raising boys

1. The bed is never to small for one more. If so, we will gladly make up the couch for you.

2. Yes, no child has ever been hurt by “crying it out”, but why take a chance? He will always be picked up.

3. The person who said that being in the arms to much wasn't good, didn't get held much! 4.We will always be their first girlfriend.Period.The end

5. There is some sort of cosmic reaction that happens in those big eyes of his that just screams YES! Making it impossible to say no sometimes.

6. Yes, it is necessary to run on the field to make sure he is ok! I earned that right the day I labored him!

7. No we are not a restaurant, but having options is good, we cant let him go to bed hungry, he might have nightmares.

8. You say “momma’s boy” like its a bad thing? As long as it is not tattooed on any part of his body, we are ok!

9. Yes, he is going to wear that today, we have been practicing outfit coordination since we were four, and our dolls never complained!

10. No one will ever love our boys like we do, and when a girl comes in and steals his heart, have patience with us till the meltdown subsides

“I will praise You, for I am fearfully [and] wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And [that] my soul knows very well.”

Psalm 139:14

They are our boys, wonderfully and handcrafted by the Lord specially for our raising. Although they come into this world and capture our hearts, We know that they belong to the Lord. Understanding that we will always handle them with the gentle care, loving discipline and God’s guidance.

Boys have a special calling and a special place in their mommys heart. It is our promise that we will nurture them with Gods word so that when they become men they will lead a life pleasing to God.

“I have written to you, young men, Because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, And you have overcome the wicked one.”

1 John 2:14

Oh and one last thing.. No matter how old they get they will ALWAYS be our babies!
