he was born 10 weeks preemie, was an only child up until about 6 months ago and spends a lot of time with adults - especially me...his goofy but loving dad.

The only real trouble he gets into is this foolishness with the school. It is almost like they are looking for something to use to label him for some reason. He is a great kid, laughs all the time and is very sensitive about others feelings. I'm sure he will give us our share of challeges but he's still a good kid.

i was in nassau sitting on the beach, sipping a 151 pina colada, watching the jet-ski guy, all toned and tanned.

i remember thinking, he's got the coolest job in the world ... sittting on the beach all day, renting & teaching drunk & horny tourists how to ride them.

that's my fantasy .... i wanna be the jet-ski guy.

I've been lucky and had a couple of great jobs....

Worked 20+ years in Law Enforcement....

I am a dad...my best job !!!

My dream job is actually the business that I own....I travel the country teaching at the corporate level. Get to meet lots of interesting, often powerful people, see a lot of the country and am treated with a great deal of respect in my field. All of that plus I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend a great deal of time with my family. I'm pretty lucky actually.

CW,

Well his mom and I are biased but we have always been amazed by his abilities. I don't know if we'd presume to call him gifted or not but his verbal vocabulary is considerable. As far as school work goes, if he is interested or if he works with an adult he does incredibly well but if he is not interested or working as a group he tends to lose focus. We've read to him since before birth and he now reads every day to me or his little sister, who simply adores her big brother I might add

Either way....no matter what...he's the best as far as I'm concerned.

Golf,

I totally agree...we're huggers and smoochers....and tell each other we love them many times a day for no particular reason. LOL

Effervescent,

Thanks for the great thoughts and I remain the proud papa, thats for sure.

the_classicist,

We've encouraged him to try new things including sports but the only things that he is really interested in are things that his mother is afraid will just add to the "fears" of the school...ie: karate and fencing. Personally I think the Karate could be a good outlet and if he got started fencing at this age who knows...he is so focused on things that interest him that could bring home the gold someday if he wanted to. LOL

GBL,

LOL no worries there....we go to church and he loves sunday school but there won't be any JW books or teachings any where near him as long as I'm around.

Thanks Freedom,

I couldn't agree more...I got SOOOOO upset when I read the letter. He's just a 6yo kid for crying out loud. And Star Wars, LoTR and TMNT at least have a good vs evil..right vs wrong message as opposed to some of the truly violent video games out there.

I don't see an issue but appreciate the moral support and reaffirmation of you all here on the board.

By the way....Nice to have a chance to actually meet you Freedom...Now there's a face with the name.
