You Know You Are Raising Boys When …

… the inside of their pants look like this.

I think nearly every single pair of pants that Cory owns is patched in the knee.  Numerous times.  And has some hand stitching on the front as well.

I have also noticed he is much harder on the left knee than on the right one.

I wish I possessed some sort of mad sewing and creative skills so I could figure out a way to prevent all the wear and tear.

But come what may and love it. At least he has a passion and zest for life that is unbeatable :) .

    I still think we should just try sewing leather into the knees. Or maybe we should start making him wear leather pants. I’m sure he’d love that.

    I am constantly in awe and amazement of you. You are a good example of faith and hope and optimism!

    I think the second picture is a perfect solution! Shorts year round! :)

    Aren’t boys so much rougher than girls?! Just call it adventurous. Too bad Shopko isn’t up your way…or is it? They have a good kids clothing policy and so does Sears…or so I’ve heard. You look beautiful in the picture.

    My daughter is hard on her clothes too. I about went insane though my son’s first grade year, he was constantly going through the knee of a pair of pants!

  5. I know just what you mean. I need to take a picture of my little boy’s pants for posterity. I enjoy your blog, just found it today. It’s very sweet.

  6. If you are really lucky, when he gets older, he’ll put holes in the sheetrock of your walls, or the doors of his bedroom, etc.

    I have boys and a girl, and when they get older and hit puberty, it evens out a bit. The holes are much easier to deal with than the ups and downs.
