She's Always A Woman To Me
Oftentimes when someone sees me carting around Crusher and Bam Bam they'll comment on how I got so lucky to have one of each. "Each" is never clearly defined, but rather the presumption that I have one boy and one girl. This doesn't take into consideration that my daughter's former preschool teacher declared her a boy trapped in a girl's body. Bam Bam did not appreciate hearing that and defiantly suggested they take it outside. The teacher refused so Bam Bam pouted and spent the rest of the day watching football on TV with one hand tucked into her belt while using the other hand as a surrogate shovel to load cold, stale pizza into her mouth. That evening I talked to her about my feelings on this matter, she nodded occasionally, and now has no recollection of the conversation. Even though it was only the two of us in the room, apparently she didn't realize I was talking to her. That's so weird what the teacher said.
My first indication that Bam Bam was probably never going to be the most dainty of ladies came when she was a month old. Two of my girlfriends where in town visiting, and after spending the weekend with us, went up to Las Vegas. They called the next night and left a barely discernable message on our voice mail laughing hysterically because they wanted to let us know they thought the water show at the Bellagio was being powered by Bam Bam's gas. Once, twice, three times a lady.
I have been asked so many times, "If your second had also been a boy, would you have gone for the girl?" Let me tell you something. If Bam Bam had been an alien, I still would have been done.
"So, what do you have?"
"One boy, one alien. Thanks for asking."
I might be in the same boat as you, though I have two girls, one is normal, one is an alien!

We were worried about our oldest for a while, because he could pick out the BEST clothes for me. Things I would have never picked and voila - Supermodel Mom!
He got older, plays baseball, hits his cousin's dolls in the head, loves being FILTHY and numerous other male "stuff".
However, he can still pick out one badass cocktail dress!

Little Man likes to kiss boys on the lips.
I think the experimental phase just begins a lot younger these days than with our generation.

My son likes to put on my make-up (but I still want to have a girl!)

Yeah, I get that question a lot, too. And, the well meaning stranger who doesn't know I'm such a smarty pants who asks, "So, you have your boy and your girl, I guess that means you're done?" To which I reply: "Done? No way! I'm hoping to have at least 10 before I consider shutting this factory down."

Lol....indeed, I reckon that one out of every 3 children is an alien (I'm stopping at one btw....not brave enough or sane enough for more!!!).
My wee boy generally behaves like a wee boy (loves getting dirty, building stuff, TEARING stuff apart,etcetc) until he spots a pretty pair of high heeled shoes and then his exact words are:
"Oooooh, nice!" (I kid you not!)
3 yrs old, loves putting my makeup on and obsessed by highheeled shoes.....hmmmmm, my child better equiped to be a woman than I am!
Maybe he can give me tips on how to apply eyeliner, I've always found that difficult! Thanks for visiting my blog hun and saying a nice thing about my 'painting'...it's always good to get an ego boost first thing on a Friday morning!!!
I've also added you as a link as I feel the need for a good giggle and you definitley provide that with your fab and funny posts!!! (There, reciprocal ego stroking...good innit??!)

I get that all the time too. The comment I get is a little different from yours though because I had two girls before I had my boy. I had one lady walk up to me in the grocery store and say "Well, you finally got your boy! You can stop spitting them out now!" Honestly, with all three of my babies, the only thing I prayed for were healthy BABIES. The sex never ever mattered.
Now, when it comes to my boy, his main weakness is shoes. That child loves shoes. We were in a shoe store the other day and he got so upset because he couldn't fit a hot pink wedge flip flop on over his sneaker. He also loved to wear the Little Mermaid tiara we have. I say more power to him!
This post was hilarious by the way!

My petite has impressive gas, too. She let loose the other day when we were meeting with her occupational therapist, and the woman actually acted a bit embarrassed for the baby, as if Petite had committed some kind of faux pas. I felt defensive, so I found myself clapping and saying in a high pitched voice, "Yaaay! Mommy's little gasser!"

Yes, but while you were having your conversation was she only staring at your boobs? Awwww, she'll be wearing frilly princess dresses in no time and I look forward to those posts too!

I'm cracking up at this post! I heart your blog, Sheri!
By the way, if you get a chance, will you email me? My baby girl had her VCUG today, and turns out she does have reflux. I just want to talk to someone who's been there! Get some reassurance, you know...

LMAO. Truly. LMFAO.

Heh. I am someone who would want a third kid if and only if I could be guaranteed of having a girl. But that's just not gonna happen, so there it is.
Crack me up, you.
