A friend of mine on facebook posted a link to a blog that had a list about 25 Rules for Mothers of Sons (Here), so I went ahead and read it and of course LOVED IT! So I thought I would write my own blog post about these 25 Rules:
25 Rules for Mothers of Sons
1. Teach him the words for how he feels
2. Be a cheerleader for his life
3. Teach him how to do laundry
4. Read to him and read with him
5. Encourage him to dance
6. Make sure he has examples of good men who are powerful because of their brains, their determination, and their integrity
7. Make sure he has examples of women who are beautiful because of their brains, their determination, and their integrity
8. Be an example of a beautiful woman with brains, determination, and integrity
9. Teach him to have manners
10. Give him something to believe in
11. Teach him that there are times when you need to be gentle
12. Let him ruin his clothes
13. Learn how to throw a football
14. Go outside with him
15. Let him lose
16. Give him opportunities to help others
17. Remind him that practice makes perfect
18. Answer him when he asks, "Why?"
19. Always carry band-aids and wipes on you
20. Let his dad teach him how to do things
21. Give him something to release his energy
22. Build him forts
23. Take him to new places
24. Kiss him
25. Be home base
And then I found another blog (Here) which added a 26th rule.
26. Show him your love every day
Wow, these are very simple yet true things to follow when you have a little boy. Yes mine may only be 3months old but yet this whole list makes sense to me and the type of man I hope Ethan turns into some day.
