110% boy!

For those of you that don't know, I have a son, Pacen, who will be 8-years-old in a month! I can't believe it! 8-years-old! Where has the time gone?! Anyway, when Pacen was born many people assumed he would be a total momma's boy and a complete sissy since he was being raised by a single mother. I just love it when people stereotype. (Sense the sarcasm.) To me it didn't matter...if he wanted to play with Barbie Dolls instead of trucks, then so be it...I would still love him no matter what!

Well, as it turns out he is 110% boy! He loves to get extremely dirty. He loves to play with trucks, dinosaurs, guns (real and fake), and snakes (real and fake). He loves to catch frogs, go fishing, and hunt squirrels (I'm sure someday it will be deer & elk). He loves to put nasty things in his pockets. He loves to make "sound effects" with his mouth (gun sounds, motorcycle sounds, car sounds, etc).

He's not always so active and boyish though...sometimes he is somewhat of a momma's boy. Occasionally he'll still cuddle up with me or picks flowers for me and sometimes he wants nothing more than to have a hug from his mom.

No matter what, he is mine and I LOVE him with all my heart!
