The differences

I was having a conversation with some friends the other day about the differences between having a boy vs a girl. We all are fortunate to be the mommies of both. We compared stories about our drama girls and wild boys! And we talked about which child was more loving and who was the more outgoing one. The one thing that we all were in agreement with, is that there is something special about a little boy. Don't get me wrong, baby girls are special too, but there is something different about the bond between a mommy and her baby boy.
Before I ever had kids, I knew I always wanted a little girl - many little girls to be truthful! I would dream about dressing her up and fixing her hair and doing all the mom/daughter things. And when we found out Addisyn was a girl, I was beyond thrilled. And then when we found out we were having another baby, part of me really wanted for it to be another girl - but boy am I so glad we got Ben. I never dreamed about having a little boy, but I am so thankful that he was given to us. What I never knew was just how precious a little boy can be. Little boys are amazing. There is something about his sweet little face, that when he looks at me, it just makes my heart melt. It amazes me that I can love both my children equally, but yet have different bonds with them. Addisyn will always be my baby girl I dreamed of, and Ben, he's my special, little man.
