sons

At some point, most lil boys are going to roll their eyes at the thought of helping their mother get gussied up for a night out. While lil girls are often happy to mimic their mama's hair and makeup routines, moms of boys (and I'm one, so I can attest to it) sometimes miss out on the rituals moms of girls can organize.

Jenna Lyons, J.Crew's creative director and mom to 4-year-old Beckett, posted some photos of a recent Saturday afternoon with her son on the company's site. Under a photo of her son with a neon pink pedicure, she said, "Lucky for me, I ended up with a boy whose favorite color is pink. Toenail painting is way more fun in neon."

Beckett isn't the only son to get in on the nail-painting action. Gwen Stefani has indulged both Kingston and Zuma in the nail art. What little rituals do you do with your boys?

A member of the LilSugar Community is wondering if she's missing out on the mother-daughter relationship as the mother of boys. She wrote in to our anonymous A Place to Vent group, saying:

"A son's a son til he takes a wife. A daughter's a daughter for the rest of her life." As the mother of three sons, I am told this time and time again. Do you think it still holds true?

Let it all out in our anonymous group, A Place to Vent, and share your stress with fellow moms and mamas-to-be who understand your plight.

There's a special bond between mothers and sons. I have a wild child that has me wrapped around his lil finger and in a few days I might be welcoming another one. For all of you mamas that have been blessed with boys and want to share your experiences or clue others in on what they can look forward to, join the Lil' Boys group over at the LilSugar Community!

Whether your tot is a laid-back kind of guy or a rascal running wild, it's nice to chat with others in similar situations. Share your mini man must haves, showcase pictures of your cutie pie or just meet other mom friends on the virtual playground!
