Aloha this
is Stacie Mahoe and I’m excited to do this recording because it’s my
very first Baby Talk Radio segment done with my new microphone.
Previously I called my segments in and I have to say that recording
with this microphone is so much better and so much more fun. The
reason I have this new microphone is not only for Baby Talk Radio
but for my new talk radio show which is all about fast pitch
softball. So if anyone you know is involved in the game of softball
have them come check me out at

But for
today’s Baby Talk Radio show I’m here to talk about some of my
adventures of finally having a boy after three girls. As much as my
husband and I wanted a son and as excited as I was to finally be
having a boy I found myself doubting my own parenting abilities.
Would I know what to do with a boy after all I was so used to having
girls, dressing them up, giving them lots of kisses and doing their
hair.
What was I
going to do with a son? It was strange to have so many questions
even though this was going to be my fourth child. Another thing was
that I always heard that boys were real rascals. If you know my
daughters you know that they weren’t a cake walk. They were all
active and kept me very very busy so I was thinking how much rougher
could a boy be? Well after my son was born I was enjoying being a
mom to my baby boy.
It was
different and I was just having fun being a mom to my son. When he
was about three or four months old I was looking at him one day and
I thought how cute would it be to have another one of them around?
Now you have to understand I always said I wasn’t having more than
four kids and I still stay that I’m not planning on having anymore
so I was quite surprised to find that thought sneaking into my
head.
Well now
that my son is over a year old oh my goodness I don’t know if I
could handle another boy. Yes my daughters were active but my son
is active with a rascal stirred right in. My daughters did things
like climb to the top of the couch and then jump off as you walked
passed but when my son does things he always has this look on his
face that he has some rascal thought going on in his head.
He knows
he’s pushing boundaries and making me uncomfortable when he climbs
up to high places and then poses like he is ready to jump and he
always looks over to me with that just rascal face. The look in his
eyes is like ha ha do you dare me to do it?
There are so
many times when it seems like he is doing these things just for the
heck of it and just because he knows it’s probably not what I want
him to be doing. So yes I love my son but I don’t think I need
anymore boy in my life, he’s a handful. He must take after his dad.
