That is so cute. Reminds me of a conversation I had with my almost 11

(birthday tomorrow) year old recently.

" Mom, does dad have any guns? "

" No "

" What happens if a bear attacks? "

" I think it's better to just stay away from bears so they won't attack. "

" But what if a bear attacks me? "

" Well, the most likely reason a bear would attack would be if it was a

mama bear protecting it's cubs. If you shoot the mama the babies will

die. "

" Mom, what to bear testicles look like? "

So I guess he's trying to make absolutely sure he's not shooting a mama

bear.

I told him, " I guess just like yours only bigger and hairy " . It took

me a little while to figure out exactly why he was asking. It was a

brilliant question, I thought. Just an unexpected solution to the

problem.

Your children are Reece and Ryder? I just think those are the cutest names!! I love 'em. Unique, too. Have a great weekend....

and the story is adorable, too.....these are the positive moments I was refering to a moment ago---they are funny, and we have to laugh.....my kids do this all day long, every day, so I get plenty of laughs in, and they are learning to laugh at themselves, too.

----I got teared up all over the place over that.....wow, what a great story, dear.....

My 14 year old had to live in treatment (didn't know it was aspergers at that time), and he MADE my husband buy me fresh flowers every week, as that was something I wanted, and they were from my son (per his orders) so if my husband did not, I did, as he always asked what flowers we had; we usually took pictures and sent them in cards to him / letters, etc., so he would know, and everytime he came home, he would see that we were doing what he had asked; he just wanted that for me, and he still does want me to have them; it is great how their thoughtfulness comes and goes, though; they DO learn it from somewhere (thank GOD for that)....just think, mom, you are training him up to be a great husband one day, and that is what it is all about----or, at least a great MAN (not necessarily a spouse but you know what I mean....)....Peace, and just loved that story!

Our two sons are perfect examples as to why we have to consider the "why" behind behavior and not let anyone put a negative label on them. We have some sweet, thoughtful, mama-pleasing boys on our hands. And you are right...my son is going to be an EXCELLENT husband one day. Another good story... Although I didn't like it at all, my son asked a girl to be his girlfriend last week. She said no, but they could be friends. Dylan told me he was doing this prior to it happening and I was FLOORED. I didn't tell him "no" because I was so encouraged that he wanted to reach out to someone else like that. I was nervous about him being rejected, but I thought I should loosen the

reins here and see what happened. Well, like I said, she said "no" but he seemed to take it okay. He was a little bummed, but all in all seemed alright. On Valentine's Day, when I picked him up from school, he said didn't get anything from anyone for Valentine's Day. A lot of kids got cards, candy, gifts, etc... but didn't get anything "and I felt so sorry for her." Okay, MEGAN! Should've said "yes", my girl! You could've had a huge flower arrangement, just like me .

Take care...
