You are right cathleen,,,
sometimes you never know what to expect from those ages,, can be excitement,, disappointment.. I can see the look on their face and know what I need to do to help them understand whats going on...
You have the best age to start teaching,, they will always remember what Mom taught them.. Or Dad...

I'm not much into the signs either, but I was kind of pleased that DS and I share one. My birthday is July 16, so we are both "crabs".

Happy Birthday to your DD, Leigh.

And apologies to Gary for the thread drift.

Gary, just logged on and saw what happened with your rabbit. So sorry to hear that! Somehow, it seems like two separate things when you have to put them down because of an injury, and when you are harvesting for the table.

Injuries just seem the hardest to me.

{{{HUG}}} and happy birthday to your son! I remember 6 as being a totally fun age.

Pony!
