Cade is 8 today. He actually looks bigger. I think he grew last night. He is such a funny kid - right on that line of being a big kid who is interested in Guitar Hero, fast cars, and watching movies with cuss words ( he is obsessed with getting me to let him watch PG movies) and being a little kid who still needs Mommy to kiss his ouchies and sleeps with his stuffed dog. I also thought this was somewhat ironic -he asked me last night , all big innocent blue eyes, "Mom, what is sex?" I paused for a moment and took the chicken way out and said, "That's a discussion for you and your daddy." Way to hand off the ball! Bryant was totally not ready to have the conversation and outside of "where did you hear that" he said that it was something that adults talk about and he and Cade would discuss it when he was older. WTG, Dad. So the question is - do you tell a young kid what it is or do you stall? Where is that line? I'm sure there are arguments for both sides. But anyway, happy birthday to my oldest boy - where has the time gone??
