Pop a squat or stand and stream? Tots decide when it's time to ditch the diaper, but parents figure out how their boys will learn to pee. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests training boys to sit on the potty so there is no confusion between urination and bowel movements. Many moms prefer to teach their sons to stand so they can pee like their fathers, and do so faster. Seventy-one percent of moms said they taught their boys to sit. Some mothers said they chose this method to cut down on cleanup, and then there were those who opposed the practice because they felt it was emasculating.

Boys are more than snips and snails and puppy dog tails, so why don't more bedding companies realize that? When a tyke has outgrown his crib and is ready to make the move into a big boy bed, sheets and comforters do not have to be adorned with sports paraphernalia, dinosaurs, or space ships to entice the tot into bed. Timeless, un-themed bedding collections are sure to do the job, and to last a bit longer as the children's favorite characters change from week to week. We've rounded up some of our favorite sophisticated bedding solutions that will take boys from preschool on through their pre-teen years. Check them out!
It will be a matter of days before the Easter bunny starts hopping so mom's got to decide what her family will be wearing. For boys, opt for a comfortable outfit that is also camera ready for family photos. Keep it simple with fun colors and easy fabrics.
It's one thing to try and distract your child when he falls on the playground to get him up and running again and another to expect him to contain his emotions. Yesterday, I was making a quick run into the grocery store to pick up juice bars for my whimpering son who had a sore throat and fever. As I took him out of the car, quiet tears were falling down his face and a nice man who had parked next to us smiled before kindly telling my three-year-old that "boys don't cry." I disagree, but the situation made me wonder what other parents are teaching their sons. What's your opinion?

Sugar and spice and everything nice, that's what little girls are made of, while boys are supposedly contrived of snips and snails and puppy dog tails. So I should expect that along with those snips and snails there would be other icky things that come along with the muddy boy territory, right? The thought of my boy's voice cracking makes me blush even though he's only 6 months old. But what I am dreading in the near future? The discovery of his penis!
Sometime in the next few months, my lil guy is going to locate his "tail," as my daughter likes to call it, and find pure delight in the ability to toy with it during bath time and diaper changes. My mommy friends have warned me about the certain arrival of this moment. I presume when he is 13 years old, I will look back and laugh at how easy this rite of passage is for a wee guy compared to the adolescent years and beyond.
