Pleeze!" days all too well. Have to admit that sometimes I miss those days. It felt good to be such a big part of his world when he was younger. Now he's a young man/almost adult. Enjoy them while they are young.

I love them dearly, but the three of them need more mental stimulation than I am capable of at this point in the summer.
