    After reading all the boy things i'm really glad i have a girl.

    who's 9 1/2.

    and told me other other day she learned all about puberty in school...she says "Mom, I'm going to have these things called HORMONES and I'm not going to be able to control them"

    2 weeks before that she thought she had breast cancer. was asking me a million questions about breast cancer, how you get it, what it's from etc. Then finally a few hours later she tells me "Mom I'm dying. I have breast cancer. There's lumps in my boobs"

    She kind of already knows what a period is all about...I'm sure that discussion will happen...next week.

    I am not sure about that. I have two girls (27 & 24) and two boys (20& 14) and my wife and I agree that the boys were easier.
    She handled the girls when it came to the birds and the bees talk and I dealt the boys. I don't think I would have known what to tell the girls. hahaha

    well ya. boys are easier. you only have 1 penis to worry about.
    girls: you have ALL the penises to worry about.

    My daughter passed her driving test Tuesday. I've let her use the car the last 2 days since I've been gone, but it scares the living **** out of me. I'll have to go through this again in a few years and I don't think my heart can take it.

    They do grow up fast and the thought of my oldest one leaving for college soon is amazing to me. I remember holding that beautiful thing in the hospital. It was the first day of my life that I truly understood what LOVE meant.

    I'm such a sap!
    When The Boy was born, I caught the hubs holding his little hands with tears streaming down his face. Saps rock!

    I truly feel that the conversations we are having with our pre-teens in this generation are the ones our parents had with teenagers. They are growing up faster, developing faster. They know more because of tv and the internet. Unless you ban it, you cannot control it. We do not have cable, I have to authorize every website visited read every email, still she has access to it all via friends, school, ipods, etc.

    My funny story is when my now 11-year old found out about periods. She was 8 and I caught her sneaking a sanitary napkin from my bathroom. When caught, she said she needed it, her teeth needed to be whiter. She thought they were teeth whiteners!!!!! HA! Anyway, had to break the news to her before she put the "Always" pad in her mouth.

    Today while going for a hike my 3 year old dropped his pants and tried to take a poop... I had to squash that idea but first I took a pic to keep for his future wife lol

    That is crazy that they are already thinking about those types of things! The world is so much more of a sexual place now a days. Yikes! Then again at 12 I think girls were stuffing their bras when I was growing up for the same effect lol

    When I was 12, I was being made fun of for having massive boobs.

    my 10-year-old fourth grader has had a girlfriend since valentine's day. they email back and forth, and we read every email. lately, they have started writing 'lovestruck for you' at the end of each email. i talked to my son about it, asking if he thought he loved her. his reply was 'i don't right now, but i might in the future.' somehow, that answer was not exactly comforting. o.O then i asked if he thought she loved him and he said 'probably mom. i'm awesome.' the kid has good self esteem, i'll give him that. :) however, they don't even sit by each other at lunch or hold hands yet... whew.
