What Do You Love About Your Sons?


I admit it. Outside of constantly telling them to take a bath and to brush their teeth, I absolutely love being a mom to boys. There are so many negative things and images written about black boys that I wanted to share some pretty amazing things about my three sons.

My oldest is the most determined child you would ever meet. If there is something he wants to do but is not good at, he will work at it until he is. He will also outwork you and this determination accounts for a good deal of his success. He will tell you I may not be the best but I'm the hardest worker and that will make up for it.

My youngest son is just an old soul. The most helpful child you will ever meet. He loves hugs and kisses and always takes the time to make anyone he comes into contact with feel special. He already knows his greatest asset is his interpersonal skills.

My youngest, is only 3 months old but has a smile that will make you melt. He also has the type of energy that you can already see bursting from the seams. I already know who is going to be the ham of the family!

These are the 3 things I love most about my sons. What do you love most about your sons and why?

I love my son's sense of reasoning and his developing empathy.

I only have one son, but I love that he is outgoing. He always seeks out the person in charge and makes sure that person knows him by name and offers to help with anything. This has lead to the development of good leadership skills. He also thinks "out the box" and comes up with the most creative answers to questions. This makes him well loved by teachers. He is also very loving and protective of his mommy. I couldn't ask for a better son!

I love my youngest son's beautiful smile - he's a precious 3 month old! I love that his 2 year old brother has this strong desire to protect his younger brother (and he has a beautiful smile too!)
