Warren, I have to tell you, I've seen you write about your kids so many times. The overwhelming love, joy, and pride you have for them just shines through every post. I know you will say that you are the blessed one, but they are so blessed to have you for their dad.
Thanks, retrokitten. My son turns 10 this October. Up till now, he's considered me the smartest man on earth. He is just now discovering I don't have all the answers. By the time he reaches 14, I'll be a clueless blithering idiot in his eyes. By the time he grows up and has chilren of his own, I'll be a genius again.
And, pardon my frankness, but last night my wife informed me that our daughter was getting, er, "buds". Has to wear an undershirt from now on. How the heck can this happen??? She's started talking on the phone for long periods of time, and watching Disney pre-teen shows instead of cartoons.
Scares me to death. This is all happening too fast.
How anyone can find parenting boring is beyond me. Maybe terrifying, heartbreaking, and endlessly funny. But BORING?
