To ask what you love about having a son

So I recently found out we are expecting a baby boy and we are so excited!

My family is basically all girls, all baby cousins growing up were girls, all nieces etc... Are girls so I've never really been around or have much experience with baby boys!

I think because of my family I always had it in my head that I'd end up with a daughter but now I'm having a son (which is totally fine!).

Just wondering if some of you can share with me your experiences with having a baby boy and what you love about it? Smile (and maybe even if there is anything you think I need to be extra prepared for!).

I have 4 sons and 1 daughter
Dd being the youngest
I've found my dd became independent much quicker than my sons.
They were very laid back and still are compared to the Queen of drama my dd
Also they all eat alot
All my sons love a cuddle they were always cuddly even when they were tiny.
Also agree with pp they always loved a joke about bums or poo when they were little.
The two eldest love shopping.
The oldest 3 went through a smelly teenage stage then one day walking into their room was like hitting a wall of lynx.Grin
Youngest ds is 7 so that's to happen yet.
But dd is also great and makes me laugh everyday she is only 5.
I've got a while yet for the teen years but if she's anything like me I'm in troubleGrin

The hugs. They are in their twenties now and still insist on multiple hugs per day. I am so very close to them.
