[blparent] thanks to all

[jill]

Yes right now My latest gray hair can be attributed to him coming home from
school smelling like smoke.  He really is trying me right now.  I have to
laugh a little, he thought he would actually get that smell by my nose?  I
don't smoke and can spot it a mile away.  I also didn't take the story of
just being around someone else who was smoking.  I made him blow in my face
and smelled it on his breath... so as he would say it" roasted"!
He is grounded until Christmas except for church.

Hi Jill.   You definitely brought up some interesting points regarding the
teenage years.  I guess it gets more mind boggling because you have less
control of what they do and when.

Hi,
I hate to be negative, but just wait until they hit the pre-teen and teenage
years.  I worried so much when John was a baby.  Was I feeding him right,
was I buying the right shoes for learning to walk? Was I doing every thing
that all my sighted friends were doing?  I wish he was little again.  I
struggle now with is he telling the truth?  Who are his friends? Are they
good kids?  What is he experimenting with?  Does he have homework or am I
getting conned?  Believe me babies are challenging, but it only gets more
mind boggling!
Jill

It's true.  Feeding was a big challenge for me with Sarah before she learned

to eat by herself.  Now that issue is past, but there's always something new

around the corner.  Sometimes it's frustrating, but remember that it's 
exciting, also.  Challenges come with learning new things, for both of you!
