My house can be a wild and crazy place. For 7 1/2 years boys out-numbered girls 4-to-1. The boys ruled the roost but Mandy was the un-challenged Queen. You had to enter my home with caution. “Tackle” was Seth’s second word and “wrestle” was Ethan’s third. Ball, stuffed animal and Nerf fights are common, almost everyday occurrences. Enter: Molly Kate…and our whole world was turned upside-down.
There is a big difference between boys and girls.
We were walking in to church one Sunday when Carter was about 18-months old. He was holding my hand and we were walking across a grassy area. Carter, without being told or made aware that it was even there, reached down and picked up a small stick and started waving it around. Like a sword. It was the first “weapon” he ever wielded. No one had to explain it to him; He just knew what to do with it.

We had been home from China about two days when I noticed something interesting. Molly Kate was walking around Mandy’s and my room while we were getting ready in the morning. Without being told what to do, Molly Kate went in to our walk-in closet, looked around, and started trying on Mandy’s shoes. That is right, my little girl, who had been home from China for roughly 48 hours, was playing dress-up with Mandy’s heels.
