It's just that he's 22 now, a fine young man; the past tense is because he's no longer my little 6-year-old boy.)MaryPhttp://daycaredaze.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390087221610436679.post-58053080258943052682011-06-17T13:07:08.525-04:002011-06-17T13:07:08.525-04:00When my eldest (she's 25 now -- and ENGAGED --...When my eldest (she's 25 now -- and ENGAGED -- which is a real mind-bender) was 10 or so, she went through a phase where she was STARVING all the time. I got so sick of being asked for snacks that we organized a "snack box". Each morning, with her help, I'd fill it with a generous sampling of a variety of healthy snacks and pop it in the fridge. She still had to pace herself, because when the box was empty, that was it for the day. (Well, apart from MEALS, of course.) <br /><br />I continued with that for a while, can't recall how long it took, until I noticed that the snack box was being used less and less. Oddly, neither of my other two needed this. Maybe they grew at a more consistent rate?<br /><br />All three of my kids are readers, but my son (middle child) was a reader like Jonah. In fact, Jonah sounds much like Adam at the same age. Sigh. You're making me go all mom-goopy for my long-gone baby booooy... :)MaryPhttp://daycaredaze.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390087221610436679.post-39784375172721462462011-06-04T09:51:03.087-04:002011-06-04T09:51:03.087-04:00I understand this picture of motherhood.

And now she's 7. How did that happen? Oh, and i love the 'knights' comment. That is awesome!mandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116676892734212010noreply@blogger.com
