I think because they were filled with so much activity and kids coming and going! That will all be upon you soon.

I was strict about certain behavior and courtesy as he was growing up, but freedom of thought was a wide open realm. Teaching him to make his own decisions and accept the consequences, talking about life and all the challenges...helping to guide another soul into adulthood...as good and bad as it gets. ;) <br /><br />It's like teaching them to ride a bike. You can explain, demonstrate, help them climb up, take off the training wheels (we never had them, actually), support them for a while, help them up when they fall...but you have to let go eventually so they can travel on their own. If they come back to tell you about their journey and ask you about yours...priceless!<br /><br />Brandon is a charming boy. This is such a special time for you all. Take full advantage of this digital age and take lots and lots of pictures and videos. The next decade will fly by, too!

My youngest gets married in May, I still want him to sit on my knee, he won't any more ;~) I'm so proud of him, I managed to stop him throwing his dirty socks on the top of his wardrobe before he left home! He has grown to be a very happy, humorous and responsible being, that is all I could have hoped for.<br /><br />Sue xfoxysuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04620248626509576905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069190054658675691.post-13191860609426360552011-04-05T00:28:04.015-07:002011-04-05T00:28:04.015-07:00What a lovely post, Kat and please say Happy Birth...What a lovely post, Kat and please say Happy Birthday to Brandon for me. The other day I read an interview with David Bowie's son who is now producing films and he talked a bit about his young life with Bowie. He said his dad was a great dad, despite all the hype and things that were going on at the time, because he involved him in things he loved. He encouraged him to read books and look at art and he discussed these things with him so he had a very deep shared experience with his father. I thought of this when I read your post because I also thought about your recent posts on finding your inner artist. Maybe this is the way your relationship with Brandon will go as well.Angie Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02119123733934337373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069190054658675691.post-39375979451060755272011-04-04T23:22:45.795-07:002011-04-04T23:22:45.795-07:00...Club penguin!...Club penguin!Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15541979769966519999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069190054658675691.post-38550903650188859002011-04-04T23:21:56.377-07:002011-04-04T23:21:56.377-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15541979769966519999noreply@blogger.com
