Nathan is too quickly growing up followed closely by his sisters. Sometimes I know that I am way, way to hard on all of them, but I feel like I am even more tough on Nathan. I’m not really sure why this is. I guess it comes down to the fact that he’s the oldest so has to suffer while we try to figure out just what we are doing as parents.
He’s such a good kid. I don’t want him to look back on his childhood and teenage years feeling like we were constantly picking at him. I want him to be able to smile and remember the good times we all have together. I do want him to become a responsible and considerate person. It’s a hard juggling act and sometimes I’m not sure what are the balls that can be dropped and which ones need to stay in the air.
In other news, when we were watching a show on the television the other day the word “sex” was said and Nathan responded with, “gross”. I asked him if he even knew what that meant.
“Yes. Disgusting”, was his comeback. I guess it’s time to have a talk and make sure he has his facts straight. Blah. We’re probably lucky we made it 10 years without having this discussion. Anyone have any helpful advice?
Hehe … We’re still trying to figure out where babies come from. How they get in the mommy’s belly … and how they get out.
It’s time to take him to a farm……..lol……We had goats and dogs when Ashlynn was younger and she figured out very early what they were doing….lol…….but I told her the goats and dogs were married!
Ewww! The dreaded sex talk. Good luck with that. I don’t actually remember ever having that conversation with my parents. It was probably so horrific, I wiped it clean from my memory.
