Now THAT - I guess all a mother's gotta do is shore up the child while they're busy figuring out what that rhythm is. -- THAT was well said!

My Scotty seems so settled now that I wonder why I worried. But he did ride a bumpy road for a while. Sometimes I think part of what helped him is that I kind of rolled along with him and didn't get too too, too horribly blown out when he blew it sometimes. Those are nightmare stories we'll save for another time, when someone brings up "kid's brushes with the law."
