Having a son as a woman who has only really been around women can be a strange experience. I sometimes tell my husband that raising our 3-year-old boy someone dropped me off on another planet where I didn’t know the _ and had no map.
My son makes me laugh like no other, but his desires and interests sometimes do feel as _ to me as another galaxy(银河系). He has taught me so much about the bigger man in my life (my husband) and even more about _ in general.
When I get mad at my husband now, I look at our son and _ . He was once as sweet and precious as my son, even if he is so _ now.
My mother-in-law’s attitude used to be confusing to me, but now I kind of _ it. I love my son violently. If some woman ever _ him, she’d be punished for that.
_ my daughter can’t find something, she searches. But my son is _ calling, “Mommy! Daddy! Where is my toy?” It’s so much like my husband. He will also spend 0.1 seconds _ before calling out to me and _ where the butter, cheese, or coat is. My son has taught me it’s a male thing. _ , that doesn’t mean I won’t break of it. I _ will. Isn’t that what all moms say?
My husband showers every day on most _ days. But on the weekends or on vacation? Forget it. Now I understand that. My son hates bath time and _ the whole time. I have to fight with him and reward him to get _ .
Nothing is sweeter for a mom than her baby boy. My son and daughter are equally _ to me, but in a different way. He tells me he loves me and how _ I am. I wish I could bottle that sweetness and _ it for the teen years.
