Guest guest Posted July 2, 2001 Report Share Posted July 2, 2001 Ruthie, Ruthie, Ruthie, I have only just seen your post and was about to reply when I saw the second. Those of us who get digests and were out all yesterday take time to catch up. WE CARE!!! (well, I do) My heart went out to you at once but I can offer no practical advice that you haven't already thought of. He is a teenager, they do such things... but I understand your hurt at the first person he turned to. But you know, your " B*y teenagers " post sounded very much a wry, coping post, not a plea for help... I tend not to reply unless I can offer something definite in way of information, shared experience, tips - and this is something quite outside my experience from either side of the picture. Is Yeshaya " back " now? Don't know what else to say except hugs. Anneliese and Baby Tim, who would say " cuggle wuggle " . puzzled > > I get the feeling that whenever I write a posting bout Yeshaya, > and I am not talking about last night's one in particular, but in > general, everyone ignores it and goes on talking about Big brother or > quilting, or whatever.

Yea that was the worst, really like sleeping with the enemy almost And DH said that when Azariah brought Yeshaya home at 2.30 a.m. he had the most unpleasantly gloating smirk on his face as if he was pleased he had been proved right; we *were* terrible people! Yes he is back now and all seems to have quietened down. He went to this study program today, but isn't going back, he didn't like it enough. *sigh* But the good news is RAFI is home! Just for two days, Tavya and Dov brought him home with them from Israel as they are going to a wedding tomorrow. He is now 3 and a half months and utterly utterly delectable. He smiles and giggles and responds and plays and rolls over both ways. I was worried he'd cry when he saw me at the airport but he took to me straightaway, and I am looking forward to having him to myself tomorrow when they go to the wedding! For a pic I just took this afternoon look at http://www.ruthiepearlman.com/pictures/rafpics/raf3months.jpg I love that baby!!
