Over and Under




Why is it that all children (especially boys) want to climb under, over and in anything they possibly can? Caleb has discovered so many new fun places to play like under the table, inside the kitchen cabinet, the drawer of the stove, and onto the couch (to name just a few). I have to constantly keep my eyes on him so he doesn't get stuck or fall off of something. I am currently reading a book by Dr. Dobson called Bringing up Boys. This book and the previous book I read on boys by Robert Lewis called Raising a Modern Day Knight have given me some insight on what the next 18+ years are going to look like. I highly recommend both books, but especially Raising a Modern Day Knight (which is geared for Dads). It is very exciting and scary all in one. It looks like we are in for quite the adventure and challenge as we try to raise Caleb up to become a man. Which brings up a great question from one of the books. When does a boy actually become a man? Many people have lots of different answers for this question. Wives, ask your husband this question--when did they consider themselves a man? It makes for an interesting conversation.
