    8 Things No One Tells You About Raising Boys

    Before my triplets came around, my child-rearing experience was limited to the fairer gender. One of my biggest concerns during the early stages of the triplet pregnancy was that all three of the triplets would be girls. Not that I wouldn't have been thrilled. I would have been. It's just that it would have put me in a decided minority. Because, aside from my dog, I'd be the guy - completely surrounded by girls. And, if it were all the same to everyone else, I'd just as soon add a boy or two to the mix. Which is exactly what wound up happening; our triplets were of the boy-boy-girl variety, and I couldn't have been happier. That said, these little boys certainly packed quite a few surprises! Here are 8 things that no one warned me about when it came to my little fellas: - By John Cave Osborne

      Most boys play rough. That's all there is to it. Especially when compared to most little girls. My guys are NOT afraid to pound on each other in the name of playtime fun. But even if the other's not around, they can still be seen hurling themselves on the ground via overly aggressive summersaults and the like. It's like they think they're crash test dummies or something.
