Boys
I want to know what it is in boys' wiring that makes them think they have to stomp in every puddle they see. I'm assuming its something along the same lines as why they need to take everything apart. And why they have to push each and every button on any piece of electronic equipment. I'm really curious. I went for a walk with my children this morning after it rained and I swear it was like each puddle had this magnetic pull on my boys. Especially Nick. Somehow that makes sense though seeing as Nate was wearing sandles (not such a big deal) and Nick was wearing socks and sneakers. Kyra doesn't react the same. She might go up to a puddle and lean over it. Maybe even stick a finger in. But she doesn't feel compelled to stomp in it as the boys do. So I'm curious. What makes boys do, what it is that boys do?

Puddle stomping is playfulness. Later when they play "step on a crack, break your mother's back" on sidewalks, that will be evil playfulness.
Taking everything apart and pushing every button on electronic equipment is curiosity and is good. That's the very best way to learn how to build and manipulate such things.
They're just having fun. Maybe Kyra is still too young and will start doing it too later?
Ang,
It has to be the y chromosome. Allan does all these things too. I have to hide the remote and the phone. The TV has a guard so he can't play with the buttons. All the electronic equipment is up high for fear of little fingers.
I'm just waiting for Jacob to get big enough to do them too.
Oh, but those boys love their mama. You take the good with the bad.

I'm chatting with Drew right now, and I just realized that you didn't give Kyra's going up to, leaning over, and poking puddles on the message board, while I referred to it in replying to him.
Hehehe, he thinks I didn't read your original post carefully enough. =)
