Little Monster

I've never really been around little boys much. I have 3 step sisters but no brothers. The closest thing to a brother I had was my nephew who is a year younger than I am. I would see him on weekends every other week when I went to my Dad's. We would fight like brother and sister and play together but eventually he moved to Florida and I didn't see him as often.

My point is I wasn't aware of how little boys act. I keep asking my mom if Jayke's behavior is normal but how would she know, she only had me. He is such a boy at times. He wants to rough house with me almost every night before bed. He also does it when I'm on the phone. He just picks at me and won't leave me alone. He wants to "play karate" or he says, "Let's fight!" I am assuming this is normal behavior for little boys but how would I know? He doesn't really do it to Mike so much, just me. On the other hand, he is a Momma's Boy. He comes to me for everything and unless Mike is taking him outside to play, Jayke is glued to my side.

Don't get me wrong, I love having a boy. I wanted a boy...I have just been shocked by how much he likes to wrestle and stuff. It is almost non stop! So, someone tell me...is this normal? Are all boys like this?



I am sick. It always amazes me when I get sick from Jayke how bad I feel is how bad he had to feel and I had no idea. He doesn't act like it affects him that much. There is no way I could not be sick after The Boy decided it would be funny to give me, "Puppy licks" all over. Disgusting on a normal basis, even worse when he is all snotty and doing it. I should have gone and hosed myself off but I didn't and I'm paying for it now. I have been trying to explain how germs work to him but he isn't getting it.

Mom and Jim will be here on Wednesday. I hope we are all better by then. We got a day nailed down that we have rented a boat to go out on Lake Keowee. I am excited to go out on that lake instead of Hartwell because I know it has some falls on it. I'm sure I will get tons of pictures of everything while they are here. Jayke is claiming he is going to start sleeping in his own bed when they are here so we will see. He has tried all on his own a couple of times recently but never makes it the whole night. After a couple of failed attempts he gets mad and doesn't want to anymore. Maybe Oma and Opa in the next room for a week will be the key!

I have to go drag my butt back to the couch now before my head explodes. I'm hoping I won't have a little munchkin crawling all over me as soon as I lay down yelling, "Lets play karate, Mom!"
