2003-06-30 - 9:47 a.m. I have my little guy with me full-time now!!!!!!!!!!!!! He started his first day at his new school this morning. Was understandably a little scared. Said to me before we got there, "But I don't know my new friends." Very astute. I assured his that he would get to know his new friends and that he would have lots of fun. The kids are almost all physically bigger than he is. He'll be able to hold his own - that much I'm sure of (he's used to older cousins that like to play a little rougher). But it was just striking that they all seemed huge in comparison. He's always been little for his age - in the 5-10th percentile for height and weight. And I suspect that he will always be little. His daddy was only 5'8" and 120 pounds dripping wet (though I had gotten him up to 145 while we were married). Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he has his father's metabolism - I'm just going to have to feed him well during adolescence ... and get him some freeweights (and drumming lessons - heh heh heh). I'm already planning to put his drums down in the basement and do some soundproofing. (My parents are buying him a little set, probably this Christmas - yes actual, not plastic). I'm still worried about him at daycare. *sigh*
