What ARE Little Boys Made of?

What are little boys made of?
Frogs and snails
And puppy-dogs' tails,
That's what little boys are made of.
This weekend I had to touch an earth worm.

A big fat squishy bulging earth worm.

I also had to throw rocks into a pond

and fetch them out again.

I spent more time trying to avoid puddle jumping

in our new sneakers than I think there are hours in the day.

I pointed out every tractor, car and truck that we passed.

And I had to explain why swinging

in a tire swing over a mud puddle...

Just wasn't mommy's idea of fun.

  1. This all sounds like sooo much fun! I think Ella would be a great playmate for Dylan. Just look past her closet full of dress and pink bedroom, she in no girlie girl!
