I think it's part of being a parent, that is going through the 'interesting' stages with our kids. Some are good, some not so good. Planningqueen – thanks about the photo.

I am trying to understand my eldest boy a bit more at the moment as he is moving through an interesting stage of his life. Exquisite photo.

He'll get there one day I'm sure. The 'knitting' has been pretty good for him. Trish, luckily JJ hasn’t got into any fights since the incident last term but he still acts up a bit in the classroom.

It is great JJ is getting into new tricks and stuff instead of fighting.You must be even prouder of him. you are doing a great job raising JJ – boys are always at odds with their emotions and explaining themselves …

Some of those lads are young men now - it still blows me away that I knew and worked with them when they were little fellas - and in my minds eye, this is what I remember most fondly! I have two boys now - one's two one's five months... and I have a right proper 'ants in your pants' type lad, and I dread him going to school! I hope he finds that special little thing like you lad Jen... loved your yarn mate - great photo as well - Ta muchly for sharing! cheers ;-) Having worked in schools with so many boys (and a small amount of girls), it’s really great to find they still surprise me and bring a smile to my face – every single one of ‘em!

I have learned as a parent that every day is a new one though. Suze, I’d never really thought about every day being a totally new one for children.

I love how they are so mercurial when they are young. Every day is totally new and fresh - they truly start life anew every morning. I envy them that :) Jen, beautiful photo of the children.

The girls have grown, the rabbits are still with us and I'm the one that feeds them and talks to them these days.... I remember similar things with my own children many years ago.
