When he would just let me in on his joys and his sorrows and just anything else that was on his mind. Laughing and talking and making memories. Love your blog especially when you say things we would love to say and felt like nobody ever felt that way.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10341175225437931341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-35741704934940662052011-04-12T12:03:51.662-04:002011-04-12T12:03:51.662-04:00That is a good day!

Like overnight...When Shep was five he turned on me. Like overnight went from being my little love to blaming me for everything - EVERYTHING, if it rained, it was my fault - and just being an over all smart alec pill.<br /><br />It was so drastic that I asked Dr. Google. Sure enough, the Dr said that five is the magic age when boys begin to turn from their moms and towards their dads (have I told you this? I can't remember.) And one of the main symptoms is blaming mom for everything. Ha! And being a smart alec pill. <br /><br />It did make me feel better - it's normal development and part of him becoming a MAN.<br /><br />But it was just the first of a thousand papercuts. The older he gets, the more dramatic our differences become. I miss being the center of his world, I admit. :(Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11264845015930907294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-57990085290243252972011-04-09T23:02:27.011-04:002011-04-09T23:02:27.011-04:00That is precious!That is precious!Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09863543139743814365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-17859455476943456762011-04-09T19:42:38.056-04:002011-04-09T19:42:38.056-04:00Oh, Amanda, what a wonderful day with your boy!!! ...Oh, Amanda, what a wonderful day with your boy!!!

I know I have read about it here. I always thought "pssh so unrealistic for us" But randomly I mentioned it to my husband and we did it already for 3 weeks now. WE DON'T MISS IT. We decided to watch one show on Thursday and when it was over we were like "That was IT". I will admit my 22 month old son watches movies during the day but we have 7 week old twins. I'm not an over achiever here. ;)Laura SanchezQuanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02430088059695794878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-28869978410001618002011-04-09T12:02:11.456-04:002011-04-09T12:02:11.456-04:00Great moments.
