Answer
Hi Trish.  It sounds very likely that you do, indeed, have a little boy.  I don't know if you were able to find any pictures online that could help you determine with more certainty, but here is a site with some good photos.  These pictures are of very young kittens.  In older kittens, the testicles of males will be more pronounced.
