Medium Boy has been speaking lately to me about what good guys do and what bad guys do.
He wants to be the good guy and save the world. *grin*
This dovetails with what Michael Gurian talks about in the 'magical boy' phase that lasts till boys are adolescents in his book "The purpose of boys" in Chapter 3. Picked the book up from the library a couple of weeks back.
Here is a 2009 interview with Gurian when he launched the book.
This topic is very close to my heart. I am learning how to raise boys on the go.
I have neither brothers, nor close male cousins who grew up with me. All I observe about boys and men are from a distance. Before Small Boy's gender was confirmed at the 20-week ultrasound, I had spoken to him in utero as if he were a girl. Had even picked a name - Clarice - for the baby! Now I am grateful I have 2 boys... a boy should have a brother, and a girl, a sister.
I love my active, sweaty-headed little boys :) even when they drive me up the wall fighting for toys.
