It seems like almost suddenly, my little boy has turned into such a BOY. I think mommies of boys will know what I'm talking about. He was such a sweet baby and so funny and he still is but suddenly he's racing his plastic motorcycles around the house crashing them into each other and yelling "oh NO!". And today, he was hunting ferret monsters with his color wonder markers. And the other day at my mom's house he told her this stuffed moose was sick and he was going to fix it and he proceeded to smack the crap out of it. And he spends a good portion of the day roaring at you pretending he's a dinosaur or a monster or something. He loves toy cars and toy trucks and toy planes and toy trains. That little kitchen in his room? A dust collector. But the little grill in the living room? Muy popular. He loves to run around outside trying to catch various animals but mostly he's all about the lizards. He throws he catches he yells. He punches he stabs he growls. He does things aggressively which is unusual for him. Or it was. He still has these soft sweet moments- lots of them really and mostly involving me. I still get coated in kisses and he still wants me to carry him more than I'd like. But yeah, wow. It's like this surge of testosterone was unleased suddenly in his tiny little body. And it's so cute!! So funny. And so sad too in a weird way.
