Wishlist Wednesday - Little Boys!

Our little man is growing up - we can't believe he turns 1 in March, where did that time go? Seems like just a few days ago that I was enjoying 3 days in hospital after his birth, not having to cook, clean or tidy up after Naomi! LOL!

Poor Ryan has pretty much been sleeping in the spare room, since we moved in to this house when he was 5 weeks old. We have finally decided that it is time to take the musty old double bed out, and do something to make it clear that this is a little boy's room now. So my Wishlist Wednesday is all about decorating for boys.... hope you enjoy!

Raising Boys

I am new at this boy thing. Over the past 3 years I have become an expert at dressing up like a princess, twirling, being a ballerina, adding glitter to every craft project, etc etc.... but Ryan is totally new territory for this Mamma....

Out by the sandpit yesterday, Naomi is making castles for her princess. I sit Ryan (now nearly 10 months!) beside the sandpit, and he reaches in to feel the sand in his hands for the first time. I think ... awwww... cuuuttteeee.... I don't get enough photos of stuff like this. And race inside to get the camera.

When I get back, I am greeted by this sight....

I didn't get a photo of the front view of his jumpsuit, when I eventually picked him up... suffice to say we had an early bath yesterday!!

Is it true? Are boys just naturally messier than girls??!?! His clothes are constantly dirty! Should I just get used to this?!
