Why doesn't he like boys?

[SiMaMa]

My son has been around other babies his age ever since he was little tiny baby. But as he gets older I've notice an issue he has. Whenever he is around other boys, he shows his butt. Every little thing sets him off. And it's not as though I'm not giving him enough attention. . . .but around girl babies he is just fine! My best friend has a daughter who is 9 days older than Silas, and with whom he has spent ample time. They are like little angels together. And they actually play together. . . and I mean play like I thought only older babies did. Sometimes it sounds like they have their own language. Even around other girl babies he's still much better than when he's around boys . .. . why he such a cry-baby whenever hes around boys babies? Oh. . and he's 11 1/2 months old.

I'm no expert, obviously.

My take on it is kind of an animalistic view. I think it's natural for baby boys to be drawn to girls and vise versa. Ruby coo's at men, alllll the time. And except for my mother and my friend Sarah who have been there since birth [nearly every day] - she has not taken to many women. And yes, tons of women are in her life. She has Charles' stepmom and mom, plus my sister in law, plus my niece, and so on. So I'm not limiting her by any means. She kinds limits herself all on her own.

The reason I think this is natural, by the way, is cuz it's the opposite sex. Not to offend anyone who may not flow the straight way. I'm just saying. Obviously, your son is a ladies man. I don't think it's anything to be too worried about. Unless, of course, he tries to hurt said child - then it may develop into a problem! But I seriously doubt that.

Just take peace int he knowledge that this won't last forever. Eventually girls will get cooties and he won't go near them!
