Being a Boy mom

Being a boy mom is a rollercoaster. We are up and down and a lot of the times upside down going in circles. But I wouldn’t change it for anything.

There is times when it is really hard, especially when I am running on borrowed spoons and zero energy. These boys wake up and immediately began taking over the house. Running from every corner of the place and bouncing off the walls. Chaos erupts from the minute they open their eyes. With two wild little men trying to find themselves it can quickly turn into a battlefield here. Breaking up fights and negotiating hostile situations is an every day routine. This is an all day affair for us. Bedtime takes time to wind down due to their free spirit energy. Chasing each other down the halls and doing flips in bed, their little bodies cant slow down. It’s a mad house til the end.

Along with the hard times there are many more good memories making moments. These boys need love and attention all the time. As soon as I sit down they are by my side cuddling up to me to watch their favorite scene in the mornings. My youngest will run up to me and tackle me with hugs, and then tickle wars begin. The bond I have with boys as their mother is unbreakable. They come to me when they dont feel good or if they got hurt, just to feel the comfort of us together. We play together and read together, making time stop. I wouldn’t change the chaos when in return I get to be their safety.

The mixture of emotions and chaos is what makes being a boy mom worth every second. I might lose my cool often and feel like everything is out of control, but the calm after the storm can’t be replaced. When I am struggling to get through the day, they are who I look to for my light. Boys have this magic in them that comes out in everything they do. I am a proud boy mom.
