He's seven.
And toothless.
I am nuts about him.
This child of mine loves all living things.Bugs, snails, trees, flowers.
He's missing a a tooth or three.
And yet, despite his eye for beauty,
Despite his tender heart...He is fascinated the most by one thing.
Puberty.
You may recall his fascination with armpit hairs. Yeah, he's still rubbing his armpits like Aladdin rubbing the lamp, waiting for the magic genie/armpit hair to jump out.
I thought he was over this little fascination until today when he had a little something on his face.
"Hey Jack, you have something on your face."
"I know, it's my mustache."
"Ohhh, is that leftover cookies and cream on your face? Let me get it off for you."
"It is, but it's actually my mustache."
"I got it in puberty."
Puberty? You got it in puberty? Is this like a store you walk into and order up your little mustache?
Can't we just stick to focusing on beautiful flowers and bugs?
Puberty?
What happened to Winnie the Pooh and overalls and Batman pajamas?
Oh, Lord, please help me....

That is so cute. Why are they in such a hurry to grow up? I always was too and now I wonder what da heck was I thinking?
ha! that is too funny.
LOL! All the extra weight I have, I got that in Pregnancy I think the stores are in the same shopping center and I think I recall seeing Jack picking up his mustache in Puberty.
My youngest daughter, Jessie , is eight. Can she and Jack get married in about 10 years? Yikes! Make that 20 years.
Love it!
He likes all living things and loves taking pictures and he lends me cool movies...I love that kid! I want him to meet my nieces so maybe they can date when they're older. I already approve of him! :)
Oh - well, it looks like Fran and I will have to duke it out over him! hahahaha!
My children are never going to get married. They are going to stay with their mommy forever.
Right???
