Puberty is hard because you’ve got a new set of rules that you have to explain and enforce, and he won’t feel like he’s done anything wrong. Scott never did anything horrible, but he’s 25 now and STILL gets a big grin on his face when he notices one of my girl friends is…well endowed.

And let’s not even talk about the fact that I slept on the bottom bunk. It took me three years (I’m four years younger) to figure THAT out. Luckily, a woman I work with went through the same thing with her brother. I tell her it’s warped us!!!!

p.s., I went to Jr High in San Bruno (Parkside Intermediate; then a year at Capuchino High School). I miss the old school buildings — open open open, not enclosed and boxed as it is here in Dallas.

He is another one who needs less sleep that I. I relish the thought of him sleeping in.

(on a side note: once they picked up on it and explained what was going on, I began to have nightmares that they would straighten me out with a giant rolling pin. “Squish. All better”.)

Matt gets his med dose at 5 pm and is in bed between 7:15 and 7:30. What time is the last dose of Risperdal for Charlie, it is to help sleep too, have you tried giving it earlier?

Nick is eating a lot and almost at my height of 5.7 1/2. He goes to bed some nights at 11 PM if a good show on at 10 PM. He has to wake up early because of Matt’s schedule and he starts schooling early too, which is good. He sometimes has leg pains and often wakes up at midnight for bathroom. He takes melatonin at 8 PM every night.
