Raising Boys

I was so excited to go to a great seminar on being a parent to boys this weekend. The speakers were therapists, authors, and fathers of boys who wrote the book, Wild Things: The Art of Nurturing Boys. I learned so much about the developments of boys, why they are so different from girls, and what they are going to need as they grow up. I would definitely recommend their book to anyone with a little guy in their lives, and if you ever get a chance to hear David Thomas and Stephen James speak you have to go. After the Saturday session I went into Andrew's room and prayed over him. There are so many things he will have to go through over the twenty years (fun and scary), and I want us to be the best parents we can be to him and his sister.

Sweet little guy

How precious he is sleeping there oblivious to everything. May he always have sweet dreams. I know you will be a great Mommy - you're showing how important that is to you by going to the seminar.
I love you,
Mom
