(You notice sports are nowhere in there.) Never occurred to me until later that he's going to get my ability to cry on command and my husband's inability to understand technology too. But then there are the things that make you wonder where the hell that came from. And it's such a spectacular reminder that they're not ruled by their parents' genetics, that they have a chance to be something all their own. Good for him!

I have broken toes no LESS than three times...by FALLING OUT OF BED. I am the least sporty person you will meet. My son? Plays, and excels, at every single sport created (when he's not sliding along the floor or trying to fly tackle someone while playing basketball) you name it, he loves it - ice hockey, soccer, football, basketball, baseball etc etc ad nauseum.
