My son Zachary was born Sep 5.  He is in Kindergarten this year and loving it.  We are signing him up for tee ball today.  He wants to play baseball.  He enjoys watching the Backyardigans and Diego.  He also watches Ice Age at least once a week.

Jens-Fredrik is born 18 of september and he was my second child and really wanted of his big sister. He is now 5 1/2 and looking forward to start school in August. He is spoiled by his sister, and he act like the boss of his younger brother. He is the one that gives me hugs all the time. 

I still remember the birth very good as he was the one that gave me most pain on his way out. But who remember the pain when you get the little body on your chest? Not me anyway :)  

I remember like it was yesterday... It was the hottest summer of my life and I was 9 months pregnant. Although my son was due on the 11th of August, he wasn't born until the 22nd. It was around 5 pm when I went into labour. I called a cab and me and my daughter went to the hospital.

With Emily only being 18 months old, I had to be okay, even when I wasn't. She kept looking at me, asking "okay, mommy?" It took almost 2 hours for my mom to get to me. And then that's when I felt safe enough to cry.

10 hours of labour and there he was. Since his father had chosen not to attend, his birth nor his life, I named him after my father... David. He weighed 8lbs, and was gorgeous.

Unfortunately,  I got toximia really bad when labour started. I swelled up like a balloon. I could barely walk, the swelling was so bad in my legs and feet that it was cutting off the circulation, and I didn't have much feel.

I was on meds for the first 24 hours, which caused me to sleep for the first 19. When I woke, I could really remember what David looked like. And that scared me. I fought for 4 hours with the nurses, before they finally let me hold him. I felt bad because he was new in this world, and he didn't really have his mom. I was so glad to have him with me, that I never wanted to let him go.

Now he's 5 1/2. And although he's growing up, he's still me little man...

wow havn't the last 5 and a half years flown by it feels like yesterday i had my so xander and i was only 15 now im set up in my own home and he has started year 1 he is growin up so fast he is a little rat. Because he is my 1 and only child and most proberly my only child i have spiolt him rotten. he is such a bright child and i think 2001 was the year for inteligent children to be born  

was born on 20th march 2001 and what i can remember of it,it was the happiest day of my life!

My little munchkin is no longer a baby but a little girl with big blue eyes and blonde hair, she's a dream come true. Don't get me wrong her nickname is bride of chucky but thankfully them days seem to be coming to an end and now she's interested in music,make-up(found her in my makeup bag the other day) and dancing!! How fast she has grown.

does anyone else feel that they DO grow up fast these days??

hi all have a son called harry.lovely boy always making me laugh started school few months ago.still trying to get use to the idea.strange when they are not around.

Just like to introduce my second litlle boy Isope to you all. He is 25% deaf and 1 of 4 boys.

My eldest born 20th June 2001 has just graduated Kindergarten wow shes growing up. It was a tough start to the year with her having behavoural problems but since found out she has earing problems which she needed 2 sets of grommets in the first six months of school, in the meantime discovered she has OCD. What a relief to find that out now i can handle her strange behavour and outbursts ect ect. She was the youngest in her class and still gaining excellent results finished the year at reading level 14 up there with only a few others. Maths was great aswell extreamly intellegent but put no effort into what she was doing. I am confused at how a 5 year old can recieve excellent results with what her teacher describes as minimal effort. Maybe it has to do with OCD. Anyway I am proud of her and hope to be able to support her to put more of an effort in in year I to gain exeptional results academically and also behavioural.

Hard to believe, but my daughter (Thing Two, age 5) will be starting kindergarten in two weeks!  Seems like just yesterday that she was starting preschool.  Time does fly doesn't it?  I'm confident that her transition into kindergarter will go smoothly as she has attend preschool programming and daycare at the school she will be attending.  In addition, her older brother attends the school as well.  I do wonder, however, how she will do socially with her peers.  She's a quiet, observer; very different from her go getter brother.  How will this play out with her peers and her teacher?  Only time will tell.  Is your child starting kindergarten?  If so, what things are you or did you do to prepare him or her?
