It must be a boy thing
Tuesday, July 14, 2009 - Posted by Sunny - 7 comments
Hyrum's friend Addie for the past few months has been tending to her stuffed animals. She feeds them and then wipes their mouths she puts them to bed and even has them go potty. I watched all of this wondering if Hyrum would ever do anything like this. I decided he probably wouldn't since he's a boy but he's proved me wrong

The other day when i was weeding the garden he comes up to me and says "baby" holding out a rock in his hand. "Oh" I said " is that your baby rock?" to which he replied "bed" "Oh your baby rock is tired and wants to go to bed?" "yes" And he starts heading for the house.

He walks right into his room tucks this little rock into a blanket kisses it and then climbs in bed with it. Then he looks at me and says "book" ( he always gets a book to go to sleep with) So I read them both a story and at the end Hyrum has lost his "baby" so we go outside again to weed and he comes to me with a bigger "baby rock" and the same scenario repeats. This time finding his first baby while he's tucking his bigger baby into bed. And many more rocks have since made thier way into the house under Hyrums care.

Kissing the little "baby"

Kissing the bigger "baby"

Admiring his "babies" ( I love that you can still see his kiss marks)

Blurry tucking them in and reading them books


So I guess boys still do the "mothering" thing. They just do it with rocks.

    That is cute! It's so fun to watch kids do their version of "being mom." I like seeing what they think is important. :)
