all boy

Is there a manual that babies study before they are born that teaches you to be girly girl or all boy?

I'm pretty sure there is. I'm pretty sure the second the gender was recognized in the womb, is the second that Bennett started studying the manual.

In previous years I always noticed friends and family saying 'he's all boy' when talking about their sons. I heard it a million times. I never understood it until I had one of my own.

In the manual there must be a section that states:

Be rough.

Fall and fall hard.

Jump in the mud.

Pick up sticks.

Dig with sticks.

Roll around in the leaves.

Get your socks dirty.

Throw rocks.

And on and on and on.

This is a typical morning of walking outside to check the mail. Bennett doesn't get far out of the door before he is exploring the yard for some new adventure. I love it! I really do. I like that he is curious and doesn't mind (at all) getting his hands dirty.

Mine is definitely all boy :)
