Yep, that is me! Let him be my baby, he won't be that way forever.....then it starts to annoy me.
Like the other night Caleb was honestly letting these big old crocodile tears slide down his big chubby cheeks cause I said he could not sleep in my bed, that Dad and I would be sleeping there. He made me feel so guilty, then I got mad cause I left guilty.
I would feel the same way if I had a boy.It bugs me with Gabby at times.Not all the time,but when it has to do with something not going perfect the first time and her getting all teary eyed it drives me buggy.Life does not always go right he first time and you can not cry because you have to try when you do something.Part of it is that she usually does get stuff the first time so if she doe not her first reaction is to cry.As long as Matthew isn't crying around his friends I would not worry.He feels safe with you guys,so he can be himself.Now there is a little girl up the road that was so stressed out about going to the M/S this year(5th grade)that she wa sclinging screamimng and sobbing to her mom and would not get on the bus.The mom did bring her into school crying and screaming.Now that is something to be concerned about.Once a child is 10 or 11 seperation anxiety should not be that intense.Plus you would think she wouold get headaches or staomaces at the thought of going to school not cry like that.Kids this age are really concerned what their peers think and acting like that would certainly make kids tease them(not that it is right,but kids are so darn mean)ANyway with Matthew I am sure he will out grow it.Believe me it isn't pleasent in a girl either.Although with Gabby it is just quiet tears for a few mins.
Same here and I was closer to 14.I do remember in 7th grade I had an orange training bra(how embarassing was that)At least now they make nice sports bras for girls who do not need them yet.Gabby just started needing a bra this year,not that she is huge by anymeans.She still wears a cami with a shelf bra with her bra,for somereason.Finding bras for girls Gabby's size and a little smaller was a challange for the longest time,because teh manufactors seem to love padding and underwires.Why a child who is barely an A cup needs an underwire is beyond my scope of understanding and then the padding that makes them look like a B cup is just silly.However we finally got an aerie store at our mall and Gabby found bras she likes(they do have an underwire,but what are you going o do)Aren't you looking foreward to your girls getting older;-)

It's a vicious circle!

Caleb got a new sled for Christmas--we had about 8" of snow, but he had a cold, so no sledding right away.
The same time he got better all of the snow melted.
He can't wait until it snows again.

Thanks, Laura
This is terrible and sexist to say though, but Gabby is a girl
Girls are expected to be emotional like that
I don't want to be sexist, but I do feel like Matthew needs to toughen up a bit and learn to handle himself better in that way
LOL Nicole!!
Good to know!
Awww ((((hugs)))) Nicole!!
What part of California did you live in?
California is beautiful
But just think---you have US now!! ;)
Wow, lucky Alexis, LOL
I'm not even entirely sure I was wearing a bra yet in the 6th grade
If I was, it was more to feel as if I belonged than anything else
I didn't get AF until I was 13 and in the 8th grade
Thanks Christi
You don't know how much that means to me :)
I constantly doubt my mothering, LOL
See, now I think Matthew kind of does it for my benefit too
He doesn't act like such a baby with Michael
But then, Michael tends to ignore it, whereas I react (Not always positively, but reaction is reaction)
I need to learn to let it roll off my back more (Like I do with everything)
