Not really a snow lover myself anymore, but it sure was fun to watch his excitement. He even got old ski poles out of the barn and was skiing the imaginary slopes, swooosh! Of course mamaw had to be right there along with him!

My Grandson
xx
my 6-year-old grandson
There is nothing wrong with your son and he doesn't need anxiety medication. This is a normal part of his growing up, and I discussed this with my grandson's pediatrician. At this age they hear so much, especially when people talk, on the TV, mention of it even in commercials, and they love their family so much that they do not want anything to happen to them. They have a fear of something they don't understand, and want to know that the safety and security they know and love in their family will not be taken away from them. He may have overhead something that even you are not aware of, and their little minds can pick up on anything. I had a talk with my grandson and explained some things about dying that he could understand (he even worries about his teacher dying). We didn't make much of this, and were not serious about it, so he thought it was normal. We try to answer his questions about this seriously and reassure him. At this age they also have nightmares and are changing so much and taking in so much in their daily lives. They are transitioning from a little child into a more self-assured and somewhat independent young man or young lady. My grandson crept into bed each night with his Mom, and has had reassurance from that. The pediatrician says not to make too much of it and it will pass, and also not to expose them to too much on the TV, but replace that with healthy programs and reading books and playing games with them. Also some video games are inappropriate, as they have too much violence and fighting. Before he goes to bed at night just read something happy and have a quiet time with him. Play some soothing music in the room, or have a night light on, and talk to him before he goes to sleep. Also, ask him if there is anything bothering him that you could help him with. Since you mentioned Sunday School, have you ever mentioned that he is protected by his angels and is never alone?
This happened to my grandson
First, I would talk with the parents of the young girl your son was kind enough to lend his game to. Obviously, this young girl will not divulge having the game for obvious reasons, and in this age group this happens often. I would also not point an accusing finger, but simply state what happened and perhaps the parent could help the daughter look through her room to find it. Nothing may come of this, but at least the child now knows you are aware of what happened.
This happened to my grandson also. My daughter drives a school bus and my grandson took his DS game on the bus and placed it in a safe place in the front by the driver's area on the bus, or so he thought. When they came home that afternoon my grandson looked for his game and it was not where he had placed it. Someone had gone into the area where my daughter places her purse and other things for safekeeping and the DS game was no longer there.
They told the principal of the school about the incident, as it was a theft, and guess what, the principal refused to do anything about it, and none of the children on the bus were even asked if they had seen it seen. My daughter even asked the kids on the bus if they could help my grandson look for it, or maybe they had seen it, not accusing of course. Well, you can guess how that turned out. Of course, none of the children admitted to having it. There was $35 down the drain, so to speak, that I had given my grandson for the game he bought for his birthday.
She also gave him the same lecture about being more reponsible. These are also 4th graders were are talking about in my grandson's class.
My daughter also said the same thing that you did. She was upset because the principal did nothing about it either, since it was on school property.
I feel sorry for your son. He has a kind heart, but I guess he learned, as my grandson did, that sometimes people are not as honorable as they should be.
I lost a 12-day old grandson to this 3 years ago...
my daughter did not know she was infected, had no lesions, had a vaginal delivery and the baby became infected. A truly heart wrenching, horrible end for this sweet baby boy. He was fine for the first 8 days of life and then became suddenly ill. My daughter had to make the decision to end his life (she was only 22 at the time). I happened to be on a trip at the time going to the memorial service for my father who died from lung cancer. The worst month of my life. Thanks for sharing the story.
Expensive, but love smell of my little grandson.

Grandson won't eat without ketchup, even on Thanksgiving dinner!
I know my cooking is lousy but he does this everywhere so I can't take it personally, grosses me out!
Grandson just skipped a grade last year (sm)
He started in kindergarten and promptly began acting out. Luckily the teacher and principal decided he was not just a rowdy child, but bored. He had somehow learned to read himself during the summer before kindergarten and we weren't really aware he could do it. They tested him out as reading third grade level as he was just beginning kindergarten. After much testing and conferences (against normal school board practices) they moved him up on a permanent basis. They also placed him in the gifted program in our school district. The counselor and teachers were careful to monitor his progress and social interactions. The only time we have noticed a big problem was in Cub Scouts. They put him in a group by grade level and he did seem a little more childish than some of his group. He adapted well, though.
This is my second grandchild to be in the gifted program here, both have tested out with very high IQs. Socially they both fit in well, perhaps the youngest one is a little too into computers, puzzles and games, but he fits human interaction in there too.
Their precious little minds need to be fed just as their bellies do. Good luck to you.
$60 playing Bingo, would have been $120 - sm
but just as they were about to give me the money, someone shouted out Bingo; guess he was a bit slow to realize he had won, so the pot was split, disappointing but still fun. I also won a green malachite faced gold watch (not real gold, plate if that) in a contest; it had a first prize of a Corvette or $50K, and 100 2nd prizes of the watches (always wished my name had been picked first). I know there are 1 or 2 other things, but totally drawing a blank, nothing big whatever they were.
Had shingles before, do not think that is playing
a role and gosh I would hope it would be costochondritis. Funny to say that but when I pulled up some other things, much worse than I would care to hear was wrong. I have physical exam scheduled for a day next month but think I will just walk in either this Sunday or Monday and just wait to see someone. The pain is really unbearable. I took Tramadol for it but dulls a little but not all.
Playing the game
1. I'm a HUGE flirt!
2. Can manage LOTS of money at my other job but can't seem to manage 3.00 in my own checking account {sigh}.
3. Would love to hop in an RV and travel the country!
He's playing you like a violin.
Drop him off at a shelter. End of story.
Doctors here are down playing it.
They are telling us it is no worse than any other flu you get. They also say the worst is over. However, my daughters Girl Scout trip they were supposed to take tomorrow still got cancelled as with a lot of UIL events.
Baby? That pic shows a kid playing with a See & Say!
If that kid is old enough to pull on the handle, then that kid is also old enough to drink from a sippy cup! Come on, people! Wake up! This lady could have easily bottled her breast milk instead of whipping it out (discreetly or not) on a plane full of people. Nothing like trapping a bunch of people on a plane and putting them in a very uncomfortable situation!
I breastfed my daughter until she started walking. After that, she went on a bottle, then to a sippy cup, then to a regular cup. She's 18 years old now and quite well adjusted.
And, we are not living in a third world country where kids up to 5 yrs old run up to their mother and just start suckin on a tit! This is America, where it's more cultured, where there are other options.
I remember a time when I was a kid at Disneyland and I saw a lady with her baby sitting on a bench. I wanted to see the baby and walked past just in time to see the woman whip out her tit for all to see. My mother was so enraged that she reported her and stood right next to the woman until security arrived and they told the lady that there were baby stations all around Disneyland where she could go to have privacy with her baby during feeding time. BTW, there are still baby stations with seating for mothers to breastfeed their babies.
No...worked it off playing my son's dang (sm)
My son just got the Nintendo Wii. If you're not familiar with this contraption, you actually go through the motions.
I played tennis and bowling all day long TG and I am SO sore!!! My right arm feels like it's about to fall off. Every time I reach for my mouse, I wince...
Yeah, been doing my fair share of grazing... will work it off at the mall lol ;-)
You are playing with fire and someone is going to get burned. sm
Infedility by any means is not moral and it is not right. Your husband has every right to be upset, as would I if my husband were doing the same. I'm not condemning you, I'm saying what I would tell anyone. In fact, my best friend brought a guy to the movies with us the other night and she is MARRIED. Needless to say, I was very upset and called her after the movie and told her I didn't think that was very cool.
I bet you 99% of the responders to this post will agree that what you are doing is not right.
It's just exciting and fun right now and not at all worth it in the end. If your husband finds out he may never respect or trust you ever again.
Also, what helps me if I ever, ever get an inkling to stray (which has happened once in our 10-year marriage), is to think about ALL my husband has been through with me and put up and has done for me (which is A LOT), and eventually the "other guy" just doesn't seem that appealing anymore. It actually made me cry when I began thinking of all my husband has done for me and my child (I was married once before we met).
Anyways, you have to stop it. Leading a double life weighs very heavy on your conscience. It's no fun. Not good for your health.
Oh, one more thing! Why is he single, if he is? He's probably a jerk. He ditched you once, right? If he's willing to hang on to you even though he knows you are married? He's not worth it, girl.
I was 7 or 8, playing Barbies with my friend.
I can't remember if we heard it on the radio, or if our parents were talking about it. I didn't have a clue at the time who Elvis was, but I knew that it was important.
You are so lucky to have a cat who enjoys playing!
 Mine is too old now to do much more than swat at the grim reaper every now and again. He's almost 16 now and he's getting kinda stinky. He always was a grump though. He'll come in here and park himself right on my mouse...I mean like direct butthole contact with the mouse, and when I try to shoo him away, he flattens his ears and hisses at me and growls. At least he's still doing that I suppose.
My docs seem to be playing catch-up. I see it as

Been playing all my favs to get me in the mood, as if I had to. ##

Nope......but I keep playing PowerBall!! nm

Perhaps I'm playing devil's advocate or maybe I need a
But, I just don't get it.
If things are this dire and it sounds as if what you have posted about him is true, it sounds like you need to spend EVERY POSSIBLE MOMENT getting out of this situation to protect yourself but, most importantly, to protect your children.
What I don't understand is, if time is of the essence and you're taking all of these steps to extricate yourself and your children from this situation...
Why are you wasting precious time soliciting the opinions of virtual STRANGER on an internet forum, and wasting hours arguing with posters?
I dunno...I've never been in an abusive situation, but it seems to me soliciting advice and sympathy from strangers on the internet would be the LAST thing on my mind.
Best of luck to you. It's 2008. If you really want to get out of that situation, and get your children out of it, you can and will.
No, I wouldn't do that. Why playing cat and mouse?
It is your husband's duty to settle this in a way that the wife and the father are both content.
clarify please-u mean woman playing Mary.....sm
You do mean the person playing character of Mary in this movie got pregnant as a teen?
Welcome to the 21st Century, m'dear.........*lol* - not many couples are getting married today (although the gay community sure is trying to get married).....but the numbers are WAY down for hetero couples.........
in any event, it's just a flick/movie - what do you care about the actors/actresses who are playing the characters? 
She's no woman, she IS 16 y/o. She is playing part of Mary
and she got pregnant by her 19 y/o boyfriend.
sounds like you guys are playing a game,

spent NYE playing Rock Band for PS2
a lot of fun though discovered I'm never going to be a drummer (or a singer) :) So I guess I won't quit my day job.
Well, 70s here in the south. Boys outside all day playing basketball sm
haven't seen snow in years and would love a little reprieve from the HEAT!
Turning on floodlites and playing ball in yard with

And this is also possible - even just 15 minutes of focused time playing a game when he first gets u
anything like that. I really believe he is either sick or he just wants a little one-on-one time with you.
Spent 2 hours with my kids playing that today - fun! nm

Ha! me too (petticoat veils), and a towel for playing Nuns! NM

I meant playing peek-a-boo with the flight attendant..c'mon now.
Just a joke. This kid was too big and she refused a blanket. I have nothing against people breastfeeding infants in public, discreetly. However, for toddlers, I say bottle it, please.
I say silver. Will they be playing music by Deep Purple at the wedding? lol

Don't use alcohol. Fumes are no good. Just playing in a coolish bath while

Anyone out there with a college kid on a full scholarship, out of state, not playing sports???sm
If so, how did they get the scholarship/scholarships to go out of state? My junior wants to go out of state and I've told her that she has to find the money to go, especially since our state has a lottery paid college education program that pays tuition and some of the books/fees as long as a student keeps their grades at a B-average or higher. She is thinking about studying broadcasting. She has no special talents and doesn't do volunteer work or participate in anything but drama club...nothing to make her especially shine. She is an A/B student. We don't have the money for out of state tuition and even covering just the expenses that in-state lottery funded fees will be difficult but do-able if we can get her excited about one of the many state schools available.
Anyone have their child figure out how to do this?
One year really punk rock station starting playing Barry SM
Manilow, Sammy Davis Jr., The Carpenters and goodness knows who else. I never listened to that station, except for that day, only to hear stoners waking up at 2 pm and calling the station asking what was going on.
My dad told me that I got the chicken pox from playing in the chicken coop. I believed him for years
