Colin was fussing and fussing and crying. We had no idea why. I just laid him down on his belly in the family room and let him cry while the girls and I ate our lunches. Suddenly…
BURP!!!
I swear the windows rattled.
My girls immediately go into full horrified-girly-mode: "EWWW!! Gross!!! He burped!!!!"
Colin has a huge smile on his face and – I kid you not – laughs. Not just a little baby giggle, but a deep belly laugh: "Heh heh heh!"
I think we are starting to learn the difference between little boys and little girls.
I know we have little girly-girls. Girls who love dresses and ribbons and frills. Girls who live for princess tea parties. Girls who voluntarily wash their hands when they are dirty. Girls who drive past a construction site and say "Yuck! Look at all that dirt!" Girls who we had to teach how to spit, since they were swallowing their toothpaste, and when they do spit out their toothpaste, say something like "That is just so gross!"
I’m not sure we’re ready for this boy.

My youngest does that and then laughs so much he burps even more. Boys are fun, once you adjust, enjoy!
Sugar and spices, right? The girls reaction was priceless. Happy Weekend!!
Glad it was something so simple!!!
Ok, I can’t tell you how many times I have been in that situation – crying baby, no idea why – and it has ended in a burp, fart, or poop. I didn’t actually realize it was a boy thing. But in my house, if someone is cranky, our first question is “do you have to go poopy?” welcome to boys.
It’s true, they’re born that way!
I totally get what you are saying I had the boy first so now that I have the girly girl it is so different. I hope non of the boyish stuff rubs off on Her!
ah the difference is amazing! what is really great is when they get old enough to play and they grab a truck and run the whells back and forth and know to make the “vroom” sound….
My son was a different animal from the very beginning. They are just SO GROSS! Good thing they are cute!
um, yup good thing they are cute because they are TRULY born that way. I’m wanting a pink prissy girly girl about now.
I know! My four year old daughter STILL can’t spit out her toothpaste….yet my two year old son can shoot a spit ball further than my hubby!
I think it’s just a boy thing!
lol, i had my boys first and then my girl, so we started with the gross and disgusting. and yes, dirt IS fun. so are bugs and all bodily functions….just wait till he discovers the rest. embrace it all….:)
