It won't be long before my daughter is kicking my butt. She still likes to cuddle up in my lap in the recliner though.

Separation anxiety kick in yet?

For me or her?

Guess it doesn't matter either way. Neither of us suffer separation anxiety.

Both. Start of school can be a trying time. Except when they get older. Then you can't wait for them to go back to school. :D

You have to let go sometime. Plus letting go makes it easier to get them off to University later when they start to annoy you.. hehe :D

I just registured my oldest for High School. I went in with him and stood in line with him, with all the papers I filled out, he promptly told me to go sit somewhere, while he took care of it himself.

A - I'm either not needed anymore
B - I'm just embarassing
C - Both


I promise, I was NOT holding his hand. ( or hanging off his legs)

A - You're needed. Just not for this. ;)
B - You are when your child is surrounded by their peers. :D

Start of school is also a time when you all should be very proud of your children.

As I have no children yet I'm proud of you parents.

Geez, my oldest (10) is starting 5th grade and my youngest (8) is starting 3rd grade. Don't blink, because it goes by fast.

Latest topic of conversation with 5th grader: Dad, why can't I have a cell phone?

Latest topic of conversation with 3rd grader: Dad, why do you shave so much? And if my big sister gets a cell phone, can I get one too?


My response to 5th grader: We'll see, but I didn't get a cell phone until I was 26 years old. ;)

My response to 3rd grader: Because Mommy likes it. And you can have a cell phone when you are older.

Btw, they are both my cologne/aftershave testers. Every morning before I leave for the office, they either give me the thumbs up or thumbs down. They both have a very sophisticated sense of smell. :rolleyes:

This is my girls on the driving range. I have a sneaking suspicion they enjoy driving the golf cart more than playing golf. :D

Johnnie:

Your 8 y/o's set up is flawless. Shell be a killer player for sure.
Im trying to get Camille in the game but she has very little patience (just like me, Im afraid).
Any tips you have to keep the younguns interested without getting bored ??

Take her to the range. Not too much instruction at first, just let her whack away. A couple of well-placed pointers followed by a little mini golf. If you take her out on a course, I just let my girls tee up every shot, even in the fairway. I find small doses keeps them interested. Just like us big guys, when they hit a pure shot, it feels good and they want to do it again. My girls received a little instruction at their summer camp but not that much. Of course if you want to go the whole enchilada, then lessons.

As you know with anything regarding kids Rick, they either want to do it or they don't. My credo is if they like something, encourage it, nurture it. If they don't, that's ok too.

btw, the 10 year old's form is not too shabby (sorry, proud dad here)

Sent my only child/daughter off to the culinary program at a local Technical College this year. She would be a junior this year if she were in the traditional four-year (now five or six-year?? :D ) program, but she decided to change majors from horticulture to culinary arts, so instead of university transfer she has another 18 months now until she gets an Associate's degree in culinary arts/hospitality management, then I guess off to one of the major culinary schools for a Bachelor's at some point. Who knows?? Look for Chef Danielle on Food Network some day. ;)

This is what she is in to.
