My youngest, Sydney, is going to be 5 in 8 days. She had no words at 18 months and was officially diagnosed with a developmental delay. We never really worried, but sort of anxiously watched her for a while. You should hear her now! I know of very few 4 year olds with such elaborate vocabularies. Everyone assures me that it's very common for a third child to rely on the older siblings rather than communicating themselves. <BR/>Have you heard the country song about the dad polishing his gun when the boy comes to pick up his daughter? I downloaded it for my husband because he says exactly the same thing. <BR/>We'll be celebrating 14 years at the end of the month, and everything you say just sounds so familiar. Enjoy them while you can. In some ways it gets easier as they grow, and in some ways it just gets more complicated, but it does keep changing, and it never goes back again.scraphappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01472985095648633397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3696148984760771156.post-6137929081439021902008-05-10T08:44:00.000-05:002008-05-10T08:44:00.000-05:00You have a wonderful family.

I'm not sure I could have handled girls and I guess God knew that! My boys are different as night and day. They are 26 and 21 and you never stop worrying about them at any age. I have two wonderful grandchildren by my oldest (boy and girl). Children are definitely a gift from God-we should cherish them. Like Amanda said, being a parent never stops...it just evolves. Happy Mother's Day.

My children are adults now, and I often wish that their childhood period them could come and visit me and I could spend a day with them. They were my little pals, and we had some good times. You have stopped to smell the roses, and that is sometimes very hard to do when you are in the thick of things. Have a happy Mother's Day.Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07282145706665260731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3696148984760771156.post-63311798306351017632008-05-10T00:54:00.000-05:002008-05-10T00:54:00.000-05:00What can I say about such a terrific blog.

We used to breathe a sigh every birthday that another year had passed without anything too serious happening! Especially when they were in their teens. But they're 26 and 24 now and we still feel the same. I guess being a parent never stops.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00459871513482076398noreply@blogger.com
