Congrats on the prego thing. Just hope you're not like me... Hoping for a boy but here I am, 6 years and 3 kids later, the only male in the house. Good thing I've got a car. Otherwise I'd go nuts.
As the Mustang racing, football loving, hockey playing dad to a boy and a girl, I can tell you the boy is everything he's supposed to be, but my girl is, well, my girl. Couldn't replace her! My ex-wife is Erin Colleen, my duaghter is Emily, my son is Sean, those south-side Irish enough?
Nah, everyome says she's a daddy's girl, I'm wrapped around her little finger, all that, and they're probably right. My son wants the 5.0 in the garage already(he's 9, she's 10), which won't happen, we'll build him one later. Em's got the real horse thing going, which costs a helluva lot more than any Mustang I ever had! Nothing like a daughter, though, you won't be disappointed!
I've got a 4 year old girl who is about as much of a hell raiser as any boy could ever be. Then my oldest who is 6 is all about the real horse thing as well. My youngest who is 2 loves the cobra. We can't use the door thru the garage to leave or else she throws a fit wanting us to take the cobra. She will cry all the way down the block if she sees the cobra and we end up driving the truck. I usually park it in the garage with the hood up so I can use the "its broke" excuse on her. Kids can grow up to love anything no matter if they are a boy or a girl. They almost inherit it from us. Just being around where a bunch of guys are talking or working on cars and your kid, boy or girl, is gonna pick up on more of it than you think. My oldest used to put a piece of cardboard under her bicycle and crawl under it with a wrench in her hands. Again, congrats and good luck...
Lmao shhak@ the cardboard/working under bike. That's the cutest **** ever. I agree that they emulate the big people they're around. My wife's grandson is all of 5 and he knows all the moto racers - Ricky Carmichael etc. and all the brands and stuff, it's crazy! I just bought him a new moto helmet on ebay. Lil dude already has his own dirt bike and hits the track. I want my kid to turn out just like him whether a boy or girl. And thanks for the well wishes I couldn't be happier about this. I'm gonna love every minute of it.
ROFLMMFAO@ its broke excuse. Im gonna savour the time when my kid believes whatever I tell em lol. Cuz soon enough they're gonna be like you're full of **** dad lol.
