    My 8yo son finished second in the national TaeKwonDo tournement in both sparring and board breaking. My 10yo daughter won her division in western pleasure at the national open youth horse show last year and she also reads at a college level.

    After it took me 11 years to get pregnant ONE time, I told myself I just wanted a 'normal' healthy child. He didn't have to be a genius or be a Professional Athlete. I just wanted him to be healthy and happy. He's now 6.

    He's not Picasso, but he loves art.

    He LOVES Legos and will build machines and buildings and buildings that make machines.

    He invents new things all the time with common household items. Although, to be truthful none of them work for real, but in his imagination they have all the cogs and wheels necessary to move. ;-)

    His favorite meal is grilled salmon, rice and broccoli. He will eat any vegetable except raw tomato or raw onion. He will eat any fruit.

    He loves to swim and ride his bike. Says he wants to play a sport, but when I signed him up for soccer, he picked the flowers like Ferdinand the Bull.

    He has ADHD, but he excels in Math and Science. He struggled learning to read, but once we got him there he is doing well.

    He hates baths and wants to take showers because he's a big boy now.

    His favorite song is "Three Little Birds" by Bob Marley and I have to sing it to him every night at bed.

    He is learning Spanish and sign language and sign language in Spanish. No joke.

    He will be starting drum lessons in 2 months. He already has the drum set.

    He pays attention to the news and asks questions.

    He is not perfect and can throw a tantrum like no one's business, but he knows I don't give in but throws the tantrum anyways because he's mad.

    His nickname is Babaganoosh and answers to it, but if I call him anything else he gets mad and says "THAT'S NOT MY NAME!". For the record, Babaganoosh is not his name either. ;-)

    I have no illusions when it comes to my child.

    I was shamelessly bribing my 5 year old to go to sleep well at a friend's house, and told her she could pick whatever she wanted for breakfast the next day. She thought for a minute, and then told me very firmly that she wanted snow trees (cauliflower), carrots, and yogurt to dip them in.

    I absolutely love this thread: I can so post on this one :smile: My son Matt is 20 years old. He recently decided to live a healthy lifestyle himself. Unfortuneatly while in high school he did give in to peer pressure and start smoking cigarettes but about a year ago he quit smoking and has started eating right, has lost 30 pounds and is in excellent shape. He was going to jujitsu and mixed martial arts class while he was at home. He also goes to OSU Tech. He graduates here in just a couple of weeks with an Associates Degree in diesel mechanics.
    There was one spot open for this apprenticeship program with this diesel company and 120 kids applied for it. My son is the one who got this position. TALK ABOUT A PROUD MOMMA :laugh:
    Anyway, that is what I wanna say about my kid. Wanna strangle him sometimes but he is a good kid and as you can tell am very very proud of him.

    My kids are super funny and they love to make people laugh. Even when I'm having a ****ty day, they always bring a smile to my face. And they give the best hugs.

    My DS(10) is a genuis. The last 2 standardized tests that he has taken he's gotten perfect scores. His classmates come up and ask me how Sean does it.

    My DD1(7) is the sweetest, nicest, most kind hearted little girl I have ever met. She loves people and it shows and it recipricated.

    My DD2(6) is like her big brother, maybe smarter (she is only in 1st grade so no testing yet). She is also a riot to be around.

    My DD3(2) speaks so well I get asked how old she is all the time.

    I love my kiddos so much. I hate when school starts and I have to share them again.

    My only son will be 5 on the 28th. He is amazing and the apple of my eye!

    He can tell you anything about any Star Wars/Batman/Spiderman comic or movie. (Yes he actually has real comic books).

    He may be the only kid in the world who still has a batman tv.

    Chooses fruits, veggies and yogurt for snacks. Milk or juice for drinks.

    He is an amazing artist!

    His favorite bands are AC/DC, Arctic Monkeys, The Animals and various other classics.

    He isn't even in kindergarten and can read and write exceptionally well for his age.

    Your son and my son need to talk superheroes. All of my other son's friends have Dads that tell them superheroes aren't real and magic is fake. I am glad there are other boys out there like my son!

    My son was also born on the 28th. :) He will be 6.

    I have no kids, but my 21 year old nephew lost 15lbs working out with me, and my 15 year old nephew is gaining muscle from hitting those weights. High school chicks are swooning over him.
