I am savoring the dwindling years of innocence. I know it is part of gaining independence, but is depressing to think that it won't be long before things I can't be part of assume more and more importance in my child's life.

I suppose the consolation is that each age has been as good as the last so far, and the things that have been outgrown have been replaced by something else wonderful.

I dread the onset of insolence and the need to be cool.

Juno, yeah..it is scary...glad I'm gay.

Just FYI that after a week all the vomiting and bottom issues have gone away so if anyone else picks up this charmer of a virus it is a good week in passing.
I think the baby is fine though she threw up last night but i think it was regular baby throwup (fingers crossed)

I'm sure she IS beautiful and wonderful and there's no need to justify being besotted! Congratulations! How wonderful it must be to have a girl!

As for the teen years - am I the only person who has high school memories of boys being nothing short of annoying? I really fail to see how teenage boys are any less difficult than teenage girls. At least girls like normal things and behave like normal people. Boys are, well, from Mars, aren't they?

Anyway, they're all sweet while they're little. I hope your guys feel better soon! When they're over it, you'll have to let us know what life is like with 3.
