[Guest guest]

Hillary,

Thank you very much for your thoughtful post. I worry soooo much

because I had Dylan when I was 44 years old and his father was 45.

Yeah, we're OLD!! Or at least we will be when he is out of the

house! It is good to know that he has a good chance of catching up!

Good luck to you with all of your pursuits.

Cori,

Thank you. And I would try to quit worrying, if possible (I know, that's way

easier said than done!). There is no reason why Dylan won't be able to be an

independent adult who takes care of himself in the fullest capacity. In fact,

I'm sure a lot of parents on this list can tell you stories about how their RSS

kids are actually *more* independent, outgoing and outspoken than the average

child .

Best of luck with everything,

Hillary
