if the shoe fits

I know that I've written this before, but I charted for both of my children, so I know pretty much the exact time our children were conceived (I'm so romantic, aren't I). Since I did know exactly when they were conceived; with our first, I was also pretty certain that we were having a girl. I shared this with anyone and everyone "that factually speaking, this baby should be a girl". A friend even purchased a gift for our yet unborn baby, a beautiful, little white and pink hat.

I will be honest with you, I cried at the ultrasound. I cried hours after the ultrasound. In my heart of hearts, I thought our baby was a girl. I dreamed of dressing her up, playing with dolls, pretending tea parties, I was in love with all. of. it.

Henry is a boy, all boy. When Wyatt was conceived, I had no false hopes of having a girl. I knew it was going to be a boy, but I love boys. I've only taken care of 1 girl in my four years of doing child care. I really do love having boys.

That's said, my Wyatt loves wearing my shoes around the living room, loves clothing so much that some of his first words were "shirt" and "hat" and oh, how he loves to accessorize. I think he's filling my need for having a girl quite nicely.
