Great Way to Embarrass Your Kids
Kids are adorable. I absolutely love my three boys and I'll love them forever, no matter what. But...they can be downright embarrassing at times. You know what I mean, right? They throw an uncontrollable temper tantrum just as you hit the checkout counter at the grocery store or spit up on you just as you're headed out the door for work.
From the moment they're born, they become these little shadows that are always there, parroting you and your bad habits and throwing them back in your face. They're like little mirrors making you inspect your own behaviors and choices more closely. Considering how often they swear they never heard you tell them to pick up their rooms, they sure hear everything else. Like telling your mother-in-law that you said you didn't like her new hair color. I mean, really, why tattle on me? I've done everything I could for them!
So, every now and then, a little payback is in order. I've always told them I'd be saving up pictures to show their future girlfriends. I figure the girl who doesn't run away is the keeper. A little test I have planned for down the road!
My oldest son is 15. Girlfriends are just around the corner (or already here and being kept out of sight). I need some help. I'm not all that creative, but I'd love to have some captions for the following photos to put in the scrapbook. Any ideas?
The Entertainer
For the first couple of years, this little guy did nothing but observe. He loved the attention from his older two brothers and still thinks they walk on water. Because his older brothers are SO much older (6 and 9 years), the baby of the family has picked up some behaviors more quickly than if he were the first born. He could talk early, began reading early, and wants to learn how to drive very soon. Fortunately, he also thinks doing homework is cool because for so long he watched the other two doing their homework and he was rather upset he had none.
His first real word was not "mama" or "dada". It was "beeeeeep", as in the sound the microwave makes when the timer goes off. If the microwave went off, so did he (which just goes to show you the extent of my cooking skills).
Once he could talk, he never stopped. He can sing every word of the BillBoard Top 10 from this year, last year, and from my favorite music era - the 1980s. His favorite? We Will Rock You by Queen. I suppose I should confess that we have, on occasion, had him perform at neighborhood gatherings. He closes out each performance with the old Elvis favorite, "Thank you, thank you very much." Why, exactly, is a mystery because none of us taught him to do that.

My Retirement Plan
Kids Hollywood Magic: Insider Tips And Tricks To Get Your Child Into Show Business
Amazon Price: $12.30 (as of 05/31/2012)
I'm thinking some day that my youngest will be my ticket to a comfy retirement. (Before you get all upset, I'm just kidding!) My husband brought Ryan to work one day and my closest co-worker came walking towards Ryan to say hi. Ryan skipped right past him and went to the cute woman sitting just down the row. He's not stupid. My friend has asked Ryan to promise that he can be his limo driver when Ryan's career takes off. Right now, we're just focusing on T-ball but there's going to come a day when this book will come in very handy.
Mr. Argument
We call this one "Literallen", a play on his middle name. If you say you're going to do something in a minute, he will tell you exactly when a minute is up. If someone asks the time and you round up or down a few minutes, he'll correct you by telling you the exact time. He's incredibly bright and tests for several talented and gifted programs - just won't do the work. We haven't figured out if it's pure laziness or if he's just not challenged enough to care. I'm not overly concerned - he devours books, fiction and non-fiction alike, and memorizes any scientific fact he's ever read. He's fascinated by flight and will some day be running NASA.
However, he's sensitive and a little unskilled socially. He will argue with everyone and has a particular distaste for his younger brother. No matter how many times I've explained that you can't really argue logically with a five year old, this kid will still try. I settle more fights per day than a ref at a cage match. I suspect they're going to be best friends when they're older. If we can all just survive until then...
Dukin' It Out
Sock Em Boppers Fun Bops
Amazon Price: (as of 05/31/2012)
Boys tend to be rowdy. And physical. If you have more than one, chances are they're going to go at each other. We never allow hitting and there are strict consequences for putting your hands on each other out of aggression, however, a little harmless fun is perfectly natural. These Sockem Boppers have been around since I was a kid. They last long and keep fists cushioned so no one intentionally gets hurt.
The Organizer
My oldest had a rough beginning. After an emergency c-section, he suffered several seizures and was rushed to another hospital within hours of his birth. I was left at the first hospital, having only held him for a few minutes. It was a horrible way for a first-time mother to experience the thrill of having a child. Fortunately, after several months of medication and routine checkups, he was physically fine and has never had a seizure since nor tested positive in any way for any side affects...until he entered grade school.
In Kindergarten, he was nearly held back until we had him tested for various learning disabilities. He was found to have several and spent from 1st grade to 6th grade attending Special Education classes for reading and writing. The school had an excellent program and those teachers were my son's favorites. No one could tell me, though, if he'd ever be able to recover or how far his education might be able to progress. Fortunately, he hit his stride by 6th grade and was on the honor roll program. In agreement with his teachers, we removed him from Special Education and he's been cruising ever since. He's a member of AVID, an advanced placement education program, and is making great grades in his advanced classes.
He has always wanted to know the agenda for the day, week, month and the year. Where are we going today? When are we going there? Why haven't we left yet? Did you get the plane tickets for our trip yet? Changes in any of these plans used to throw him for a loop, but he's able to adapt to change more quickly today. He's everyone's best friend, the life of the party, and the sweetheart. He'll help without being asked and is extremely polite. He loves everyone. When he was younger he would walk up to other kids at the grocery store and just give them a hug for no reason.
Let's see I got 5 Baby Ruths, 3 Blow Pops, 1 Popcorn Ball - hey, who took my Milk Duds?

Capture Precious Moments
Encyclopedia of Scrapbooking (Leisure Arts #15941) (Creating Keepsakes)
Amazon Price: $4.00 (as of 05/31/2012)
It's no joke when parents say they don't know where the time went. I remember my teenager's first steps like they were yesterday and I'm afraid it will be as quick as tomorrow that he'll be leaving home. I've been taking photos of them all from the minute they were born and have plans for their own photo albums to give when they've established homes of their own. This is a very popular scrapbooking guide that can help you do the same.
From One Mom to Another
Yes, all kids are different, aren't they? No two exactly alike, even if they're identical twins. Unique personalities and special gifts are what make each child so amazing.
Still, there was that time they put a single hand print of sun screen PF 50 on my back while I was laying out in the sun...
