You were a real jock compared to me! I got a D in P.E. one year, and honestly, I tried so hard. <BR/><BR/>Like Marcia, I grew up in an all-girl family, but now I have only daughters. Still, they come up with things like this all the time. My youngest once woke me up in the middle of the night to ask me if snakes have babies. You've got to love the way they think.<BR/><BR/>I believe in good nutrition and try to avoid refined sugars and fats. My girls horde candy in their rooms and delight in eating junk food.

A looong way to go yet. I also read to them prenatally, restrict television and such (they dont' know what a commercial is yet, or even a video game), and supplement with books. Right now, they love to read. I think my heart will break if they rebel by not reading...ugh!!Tabithahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420910182752981979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837908059809422462.post-9637901196271785742008-08-18T12:13:00.000-07:002008-08-18T12:13:00.000-07:00The bays around here are really spectacular.

I got to know boys through having sons (more than through having a husband). I love their dialogue! They're right about all of that stuff. <BR/><BR/>Athletic ability of Woody Allen! LOL.
