Thanks, and you know what parents say: "I hope you have a kid like you". God help me.

LOL!!

My first son was wonderful! Slept the whole night from the second night home on. Didn't sleep much during the day, but that was OK. Smiley, alert, laughing, sensative and intelligent. Potty trained day and night at 21 months by the time my second son was born.

My mother called him poetic justice.

I said Mother, I never! and she said Oh yes you did!

He had a SEG from the get-go. Up all night, almost 3 when he was potty trained. He was a hider. Loves to argue. He calles it "honing his skills". He could talk the Devil out of his pitchfork. He is my red white and blue boy. His hand went over his heart every time we passed a flag from the age of 4 on. I had to make a flag quilt for his room because we couldn't find one he liked.

He is in college now for law enforcement, and has the Marines in the back of his mind. My oldest is in an art institute for illustrations. He is very good.

You never know what you are going to get. It won't be perfect, but it will be wonderful!! Hang on and enjoy the ride!

God bless you!

LOL! Thank you for sharing about your second! He sounds JUST like my son. His most common word is, "But..." He argues. He hides relentlessly. He loves to dig holes and climb trees. I had to take him to the chiropractor to have a rib put back in yesterday. The dr said, "What's your trauma." We told him about the treehouse accident. Then it was my turn for an adjustment (may as well). He says again, "So, what's your trauma?" I just grinned and pointed to my son.
