Wednesday, July 27, 2022 Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails

~ Foodiness

I interrupt my regularly scheduled blog post for this grand announcement: we are proud grandparents of a bouncing baby boy! He hasn’t actually started bouncing yet, but I’ve had 5 boys and they tend to be very bouncy creatures, so I know the day will come.

So adorable! This fat little buffer weighed in at 9 pounds, 11 ounces.

Rumor has it that boys are made of only three things: snips and snails and puppy dog tails. That seems an odd amalgamation, doesn’t it? I don’t think that can be true, even though the idea has a huge following.

Nope, I think I can weigh in on this issue, having done empirical research on this with my own little study sample of five.

Boys are made
of fidgety stuff;
They’re jumping beans,
They like to play rough

Boys are made
of loud things,
Of battle cries
And sword “shings”

Boys are made
of bones and muscles
of backyard fights
And bedtime tussles

God bless the boys and all their noise
Bless their fightings and their smitings
Bless their roughness and their toughness.
Make them brave and make them strong
Let them praise Your name with song
God bless the boys!

Welcome to the world, Oliver! ❤️

I’ll probably do you know what, you know when.

  6. So true about little boys. We had 3 girls before we had our 3 boys….it was an eye opener! Love your ode to boys. Congratulations on Oliver….he’s a cutie!
