Maleness of the Boy

Don't we as grown-ups often shake our heads when our boys simply couldn't handle the simplest of the simplest tasks, for example, personal hygiene ? That seems to be the last thing they care.

Well, when I am in disbelief, I shall remind myself that's natural of a boy.
The maleness of the boy:

1) Inclined more to exploration, investigation and discovering how things work - hence always trying new things and messing up
2) Pitting themselves against each other in physical challenges - hence physical play and the noise that comes along
3) Easily distracted - need goals and coaching in direction and how to be persistent
4) Love adrenalin-packed activities, hence the war movies, stunts,.. things mommy find hard to appreciate

And I believe the boys do not outgrow these characteristics .. just look at other grown-up males. So, take heart that its all in the maleness genes.
