Stone is what I would call a “regular” boy. He’s into super heroes, fishing, building forts, football, etc…, you know boy things. One thing that is a little different from most guys his age, he likes girls. I know this is a minor thing but I would venture a bet that most 5 year old boys would run the other direction from a girl. Stone went to a birthday (skate) party a couple weeks ago and when they had “couple skate” he asked a friend to skate with him. I really don’t care what people say, girls are made to like boys and vise-versa. It is a natural thing created and set in place at birth. Now, one of my jobs as a father, is to teach Stone to honor and respect girls. The best way to do that, I believe, is my actions toward my wife. I am forever telling her that she is beautiful, the best cook in the world and that I love her. I noticed last night that Stone told Ginny that she was pretty. Then after supper Stone told her that she was the best “cooker”. It’s true, kids listen more that we think. Are we saying the right things?
