The great thing is that now he seems to be responding to the idea of setting goals. He was asking me tonight about how he can get me to get him a Wii game console (or whatever it is that he wants). At 8 years of age I hope to be able to set him up for life with the tools for setting realistic and achievable goals. I don't want him to have a deprived childhood, but I also don't want him to have it too easy, so setting a series of steps as you suggested a couple of days ago will be the way I go. Yes, my first (and only).

I put on a few pounds during my wife's first pregnancy for some reason. I was able to lose it. But it seems fairly common for men to gain during pregnancy times. And back to your comment...Kids' innocence and honesty can be both painful and enlightening huh? Rod, was this your first? I put on a few pounds during my wife’s first pregnancy for some reason.

Sometimes as a parent it seems like the kids never listen to what you say. It's great when not only have they listened, they reflect back your advice in such a powerful way. :) Dora, thanks for your nice comments.

He went away for a few weeks between 2 and 3 years old. When he returned he sat on my lap one day, patted my 'bulge' and said "Daddy, it's getting big, isn't it?" Time to get on my bike!
