JUST LIKE DAD

I am always amazed with my boys. I know that is a weird way to start, but I really am! It is 9pm at night and we are all laying in mom and dad's room watching scooby doo. Danny has a fascination with Daphny (I think that's how she spells it), he want's her to be captured all the time and he say's she is really pretty. Of course as a mom I say, "but Velma is so much smarter...", that is not working. He still likes Daphny. Zach could really care less about girls, he is more into himself right now! So, we are laying here and Danny starts to ask why boys like girls so much? I think I am saying all the right things: smart, pretty, take care of you and then he replies: is it because they like girls boobies? Uggghhhh. Not my son, not at the age of 5, is he a pig already? Did I raise him wrong? I always think about how well I was brought up and that if I said that to my mom, I would get in trouble. I am having trouble trying not to laugh, but trying to say the right thing, so what do I do? Pass it to Dad! I think this is a DAD area, don't you?
Dad's and son's are a funny thing. Yes, there is some truth to the mother/son bond, but tonight as the boys pretended they were taking their insulin shots, just like dad does, it really hit me how much the kids learn from us. Right now, the big thing is "we are men now, mom"! The two of them think they are just like their dad. Dan want's to go to work like dad, that will make him a man and as for Zach, he told me that he does not want to be a man because he dose'nt want to work. Oh well, there is always one! I have always told them that they never have to leave me, I think Zach is taking that literally. We will see in 20 years! We all wonder what our children will be, and when you have a special needs child you wonder if they will be able to be what they want? I know alot of my friends have that on their mind (the future), but for tonight, they are still our "little men". Good night everyone.
