You will be asked on a daily basis to assess the awesome-ness of teeny biceps.
… and sometimes elbows (the younger ones tend to forget which part of their arm is the muscle).
Advice:
NEVER be to busy and ALWAYS be impressed. It might encourage more frequent assessment requests but when it comes to being a mom to boys, it’s impossible to over-compliment the muscles.
I’m a firm believer of building my kids up and if that means I have to oooh and aaahhh over sweet , scrawny little arms all day, you better believe I’ll do it.

Awww. Loved this.
Yes, my own 5 year old little “Mr. Puny-verse” likes me to ooh and aah over his puny, I mean ripped arms, too.

This is too funny, because my son was showing me his biceps last night! I had a bit of a shock though, he is almost 14 and his bicep actually looked like a bicep! But the three younger girls were still trying to show me their muscles….guess that is the side effect to having an older brother. 🙂

I love this! I actually have a 5 yr old daughter and I also get the “feel this mom” and a chicken wing stuck in my face. But mostly its some absurd dress up concoction and a swishing past me to see if I will swoon at the sight of beauty. Thanks for writing, Becca
