Top Ten {Tuesday}: Boy, oh Boy!

So, I've covered our three girls with Top Ten {Tuesdays} posts.  Now, it's The Boy's turn. Thomas Harrison is our only boy, our last baby.  Oh, for the record, he'd have been our last baby even if he'd been Mary Juliet - we didn't decide to stop just because we "finally got a boy" (grrrrr!)  But I digress.

Some of my favorite thing about having a boy...in no particular order:

1. Ball caps

Seriously, who could resist this sweet little guy?!

2. Blue...and Brown...and Green

Sure, I could have these colors with the girls' stuff - but there's something that is just so "boy" about it! By the way, you know Egg kids have mountain goat in their gene pool - we long ago converted Harrison's crib to the toddler bed.  But I love this photo of his bed...from almost three years ago!

3.  Miles the Moose

Miles came to live with us from New Hampshire. He was a gift for Harrison back when I was about 8 weeks pregnant - my aunt bought him - she couldn't resist.  Harrison had his photo made with Miles every month for the first year of his life.  Miles also inspired my aunt to buy Harrison a lot of moose themed clothes, pjs and other toys. 

4.  Blackmail Photos

Oh will he hate me when he gets older? He'll have lots to blame on me when he's in therapy.

5.  Fun Toys

Ozlo was a Christmas gift from my sister. Harrison still loves this thing! The dog, his pillow and all his toys are magnetic.  He's loads of fun. And he's very cool!

6.  Tonka Stuff!

Yeah, Tonka isn't just your yellow, metal dump truck any more (though we have two of those!)  These little Wheel Pals are some of Harrison's favorites - and mine, too.  Typical of me - when I fall in love with a toy for my kids, I make sure we have them ALL. 

7. More Cool Little People Stuff!!!

(not my kid in the photo - it's from the Fisher-Price website)

Whoo-hooo! I get to buy even MORE Little People stuff!  (I love Little People) And this stuff moves, makes noise and crashes.  Totally cool. 

8.  Did I mention Blackmail Photos?

He wanted to wear a green headband.  This was the only one we had.  And then he put on the cat-eye Tinkerbell sunglasses.  I couldn't resist.

9. Older sisters

Harrison has had a special bond with Elizabeth since he was a teeny infant - as you can see here from early 2009 when they both had on their "cool" sunglasses. He loves "Girl" (which is what he calls her)

Katherine always tries so hard to help Harrison - and he is so often resistant to her "help"

Harrison and Annie feed off one another...moods, energy, you name it.  They have a lot of fun together and it's often monkey-see-monkey-do with these two!!

10. Having a boy who loves his Mommy...

He loves me.  "I love you, moon and back, Mommy."  His quote from one of our favorite books. I love you to the moon and back, too, Son.
