Nearly 1 In 20 US Adults Over 50 Has A Fake Knee
Monique Ruffin: The Journey to Very Poor
That wonderful age
Filed under: Big Kids
Jared is at an amazing, delightful stage in his life. It's these times that I cherish now and will most certainly miss later on. Later, when he is a teenager and, if I'm lucky, will acknowledge me just enough to tell me to go to hell, I'll look back at this age with great fondness and longing.You see, Jared is five now. He is old enough and big enough to help take out the garbage and, yet, he is at the same time young enough to think it a privilege. That means I can experience the joy of being able to say things like "be good, or you won't get to take out the garbage!" Good times, indeed.

Tamyu said...Ooh ooh! I can`t wait to get to that point. Right now, my son thinks it`s the GREATEST thing in the world to throw trash away/fetch me a tissue/carry dirty clothes to the laundry room... etc. You know, those itty bitty tasks that you always seem to notice you need to do RIGHT when you`re in the middle of something? Now he understands enough of what I`m saying that I can ask him to do it... And not feel bad because he LOVES it. It`s great.

Rebecca Morrow said...I miss the days when my 11 yr-old would BEG, "Mommy can I pwease vacuum the baseboards." Back then he would robotically start picking up his toys if someone started humming the Barney clean-up song. Oh, the good ole' days....
...I have to go now, the dead skunk/rotten socks/compost smell emanating from his closet is drifting downstairs. Must go excavate.
