The poor woman was dropping things all over the place, so he picked it up and helped put back things she didn't want, etc. It was funny, though, I'm walking along, saying something to him, and realize he's not answering me. I turn around and he's gone....down an aisle, helping this woman. Not a word, just did it.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes, he's still a really good kid. :o)Glitterstimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821742145813306444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471555.post-32194405473709912452007-09-21T10:07:00.000-06:002007-09-21T10:07:00.000-06:00Yeah, that's what I hear quite a bit, that the gre...Yeah, that's what I hear quite a bit, that the great stuff outweighs the hard stuff. (not to belittle YOUR feelings, I just mean that that's what many parents tell me)<BR/><BR/>That's really nice about your son in the pharmacy :)D-HORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129358345881440358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471555.post-29819718873132802872007-09-20T15:44:00.000-06:002007-09-20T15:44:00.000-06:00Hor-gal, I'll tell you what I told my son when we ...Hor-gal, I'll tell you what I told my son when we were at the zoo one day. Everywhere we looked, we saw women with little babies. He finally asked, "Is having a baby fun?"<BR/><BR/>He was 15. This was a loaded question. So, after making a joke about "fun until they're 15," I told him it's the most wonderful thing you'll ever do -- and the most difficult.<BR/><BR/>It's all the "wonderful" that makes the difficult parts worth it. I can't tell you the joy it gives me when people say my daughter looks exactly like me. Or like today, when I watching my son stop and help a woman in a wheelchair, in the pharmacy. There's little things all the time that make you so proud your heart aches....even though I joke about throttling my son sometimes.<BR/><BR/>Does that help? :o)Glitterstimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821742145813306444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471555.post-90067929015123359812007-09-20T13:01:00.000-06:002007-09-20T13:01:00.000-06:00Once agian, why am I planning children?

That's why kiddo owes me money -- he lost or broke three retainers, at $150 each, and we've already hit his lifetime max.<BR/><BR/>DANG!

Apparently there is an annual maximum and not the good kind where they start paying everything after that. The kind where you get to pay 100% of everything.Sgthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15776619714461836931noreply@blogger.com
