Thanks for the nice remarks, everyone--sorry for being such a "mom" about the whole thing; it's just that every so often I "fall in love" with my son all over again (he did something that just floored me this past weekend), and I guess I just felt like sharing him!
Pete, you're definitely not the first person to say that he's an "old soul"--some of the things that come out of that boy's mouth...no idea HOW he comes up with some of the things he thinks about! I'm not so sure about myself and the "past life" thing, but that boy's been around the block a few times!

And I have no doubt that he'll be off creating grandchildren for me first chance he gets! (On the D. being lucky thing, though--not sure how lucky he is with ole "foot-in-mouth", "open-door policy" me!!

--but thanks...)
One of my biggest prayers is that I don't screw him up, and that I can raise him to be the great man (however you want to define it--he will do something wonderful for people, though!) he was born to be. It's kind of scary sometimes, isn't it?
