    Yeah...kids can be tough on their mothers.

    When our oldest son Kurt was 24 months he managed to get away from my wife while I was repairing storm damage on the roof (antenna rotor). Next thing we know he's sucrried up the ladder and is running across the roof towards me. Wife turned white as the sheets she was hanging. About 2 months later he's doing a high-wire act across the swing set - 'look mom, no hands' - scurried up it before she could even get moving. Wife screamed like a banshee, again

    Daughter wasn't much better - wherever Kurt went she was right behind almost as soon as she could walk. Cute as a button; platinum blonde hair, blue eyes and at least 40 stitches in her scalp and legs combined by the time she was 6.

    Middle son was into climbing too; can't count the number of times he fell off the roof (usually into shrubs) or jumped off same into the pool. Then he started racing mountain bikes and later off-road racing trucks.

    I have the feeling by the time Erik's done she'll be white haired and drooling on herself.

          Interesting story I just heard at my twins' yearly checkup. Their pediatrician was saying that they are starting to find that children given the live vaccine (flu mist nasal spray) end up passing on the live vaccine to other children if they are in close regular contact (like daycare/pre-school). The non vaccinated kids are showing up with the antibodies for the strains in the vaccine. They think it is just the regular process of virus shedding (but with the live vaccine) passing to the non-vaccinated
          children.
