with Joey, and I felt like Mr. McAfee in Bye Bye, Birdie. Do you remember him? He’s the father who reacts with such dismay and indignation when he hears the word “puberty” uttered in his presence.
My firstborn is apparently beginning to show signs of it. I am not ready for this. I console myself with the fact that although he may be starting to show physical signs, he’s not acting like it yet. In some ways he’s been acting like a teenager since he was a toddler; however:
1. Given the choice, he preferred to have me in the room during his physical; and
2. This is his favorite website.
All together now: awwwww!
So maybe we’re okay for a little while.

I adore Cute Overload. I think that if everyone looked at it every day there would be a lot less conflict in the world! Who can be stressed after seeing four Husky puppies spoon-napping?
yep, I think you might be OK for a while yet. Especially if he still wants you there for his physical…
Love Cute Overload!
Definitely OK for a while :)
Ihaven’t been over to Cute Overload for a while – didja scroll down and see the bathing ferret??? Cuuuute!
Thanks for the reassurance, you guys. :)
And Sylvia — come to think of it, I believe I actually found Cute Overload via your sidebar. Thank you! Wouldn’t that be a great prescription for “anger management”? Rx: 10 minutes of Cute Overload, 3x daily or as needed. :)
And Liesl, you bet I saw the bathing ferret. I thought of you instantly, and so did my kids (who usually know what I’m working on).
Just reading this has tightened my chest a little and raised my blood pressure. I am not dealing well with the advancing age of my “baby” (entering KINDERGARDEN next fall??!!!). Remembering when Joey was a round-headed baby just, what?, a few years ago and imagining him now entering the transition to adulthood. Too much.
I’m glad you may be okay for a while because you just freaked me right the hell out.
