Things that never would have melted my heart if I didn't have my kids includes: the absolute adoration little boys have for big boys, and when it is reciprocated with kindness. I hope the party boys are respectful neighbors. PS: Paul took a shine to some big boys at the pool this summer who did very noisy flips off the diving board and began referring to them as "The Radical Dudes."

That is exactly it!!! The little boy adoration for big boys (but also hoping they don’t teach my 7yo beer pong). They do seem really nice so far! But no offers to babysit yet lol I shall continue the campaign

Not All Boy Babysitters but the boys’ most fun sitters were also the ones I had to say things like “Please throw your Jimmy Johns wrappers in the garbage next time and it would be great if the boys could be in bed by the time we get home.”
