Reasons Little Boys are Awesome

A lot of us are finding out whether we are having boys or girls and even though this is an awesome and exciting time, there are bound to be some minor and fleeting feelings of disappointment either way. For instance, all my life I was super excited to have kids and always imagined being a boy mom. I always wanted sons. Over time I decided a pair of brothers or both a boy and a girl would be my ideal combination. I never got excited at the thought of all girls.
But then when I got pregnant I changed. I fell in love with the idea of a little girl. Especially since my parents already have a grandson but no grandaughter, and all my friends have little girls so she'd have easy playmates.
And just as I fell in love with having a girl, I get a call that it's a boy, lol! I was instantly excited and happy, but throughout the day I felt little pangs of disappointment over the things I had been looking forward to with a daughter.

Anyway, I looked up a list of why boys are awesome and I quickly got over it. For all you mamas expecting boys out there, lets share reasons they are awesome because I'm getting super pumped about having a son to raise!
Hopefully someone expecting a girl will start a similar thread.

I'll get us started with some basic ones:
1. Miniature old man clothes. I can't be the only one looking forward to putting my kid in a tiny sweater vest and bow tie.
2. Diapering is easier. I won't have to deal with the constant fear of wiping the wrong way on a bleary-eyed late night diaper change or not cleaning thoroughly enough because boys are not as prone to UTI's.
