I like hearing these posts from you! Complicated stuff, but real life and so sweet! Our 9 yr old boys sound a lot alike – I want it to last!!

I relate to so much of what you wrote…..I also talk too much, but my daughter is the opposite. She clams up and it can be hard to reach her when she’s decided to crawl inside herself. But let me tell you…when she does decide to open up, pillow talk with a 16-year-old is enough to make you want to crawl under her bed and DIE. The questions she asks…the things she overhears at school…the things her friends are doing…Oh my Lord, it’s so hard. I’m just very very thankful that we have such an open and honest relationship. (even though it means I have to hear things and have discussions I don’t always want to hear!!)

So relieved to hear we Europeans are still on this planet!

Love pillow talk – you never know what you are going to hear.

Aww! The neighbor girl apparently wants to know why baby Jesus wasn’t in church at Christmastime. It is a tough question to answer!

Very funny about your boy wanting to know about the globe.

Very great post!

Oh, I realized this post made me think of Doris Day and Rock Hudson too.

Loved these little peeks into their brains, so sweet–and perceptive. My A. must be a lot like your C. on the personality/chatty scale, but I agree that I’d rather my child be willing to talk with others–esp. grown-ups, than it be like pulling teeth to chat with them.

How sweet are her thoughts! And you’re right, boys are really very un-complex at that age.

So sweet. What a great way to end your day – what a special bond you have with each one of your kids.

I love this post – and I can’t wait until my daughter starts talking more. We have plenty of conversations now, but they mostly sound like this: “Hi! Bye! Kittykittykitty. Hi! Uh-oh! Rawr! (like a lion) Bye!”

This was a fun post to read.

That whole balance between building self-esteem and teaching self-control is delicate. It’s my biggest prayer request with my son – to have wisdom to do this right and to trust God in this area. Have to remember He sees the big picture.
