2. Thanks. :^) He had a pretty good one. The NBA all-star game was tonight
and he has turned into a real b-ball fan so that was pretty thrilling for him. Of course he had to go to bed at half-time but lucky for him we have TiVo. *g*

3. It feels as though it goes so fast, doesn't it?
Mine will be eight also, next month. Hard to believe. I enjoy the age, though.

4. I have enjoyed every age the boys have been but I am really missing
the ones they have finished because I know they will never come again. :(

9. College? Eeek! I am trying not to even think about high school at
this point, though I know it will come up sooner than I think.

(And yes, we called him Gumball for the longest time. *lol*)

10. Thanks. :^) He will be taking a friend out for mini bowling next week. It
is the first year he hasn't wanted a party with his whole class.

12. It is my all-time favorite baby pic of him. He _always_ munched on his
wrist like that. We used to call him "eat-the-hand-boy" because of it. *l*

13. My eldest turned nine ...
I kept thinking "He's already half way to leaving us!!" :cry: :scared:

He's such a wonderful kid (and so is his little sister). We're so lucky.

Anyway, the Harry Chapin lyrics "My son arrived just the other day ... " seem to apply. *sigh* I wish I could put time on pause ...

14. I keep thinking the same thing.. counting down to graduation. Pause would
be nice but so would fast forward, at least to get past the little temper tantrums and broken hearts along the way. *l*

16. Yeah, exactly.
My kids are out of school for several days (President's Day + teacher prep. days or something) and it would be nice to fast forward over the little screaming fits and squabbles ... But, for the most part, they're playing together nicely.

25. Parenting is a bittersweet journey, isn't it?
It's a trip watching them grow, change and age.

My oldest kid is also a boy and he's 12 now, amazingly. The teenage years are looming.... :scared:
