CL - You're gonna have to prove that he's 3 ft tall. . . He's only a 5 month old RIW. Few breeds reach 3 feet tall, and not even my 7+ month old Shamo stag is there yet.

Still, he is very beautiful and getting to become quite a "man"

Next time I got a tape measure I will try to hold it next to him whilst take a phot !!

He can play basketball and jump really high too!!
I taught him that with bread.
He is TALL.
DH says he is really 2 foot tall

.
He is mean looking but so far is really sweet!!
Illia you can kind of estimate his size by the 4" sections of feild wire next to him.
DH says about 28", that is close enough to 3 feet tall for me !
Especially when you are kinda short, just ask Toni!!!
I think MOT and T-Hi were about eye level

Your not mean.

We have had our boys Dishes by hand, counters, own laundry and bathroom (they seem to mess the bathroom up more then anyone else) for many years. They also help cook.

Our youngest son is 4 and is wanting to help do dishes and cook. The other night we had home made pizza, I rolled out the crust for him and he made the rest. Our 4 yo love to help out. He even want to change Emma's diaper.


Wow - there are lots of typos in my post....I must not have had enough coffee yet.

This is so true, I found out at 20 years old with a 1 yr old and a new born.
T and I were discussing this very sort of thing while she was here 2 days ago..we think it would be awesome, if HS kids graduated with a SKILL::: a certification for SOME trade !!!!!!
They need to take life skills, how to go to a job interveiw, how to write a resume, how to get and keep a JOB!
They need to be able to attend on the job and classroon training just like "everett college" and Puma Medical Institute" and the other private for profit "colleges".
Our kids need to graduate capable of going to WORK!!!!!!!!
Dental Asssitants, Cafeteria/Institutional Cooking, Certified Nurse Assisting, Veterinarian Tech, Certified Welding, there are many trades !!
Our kids go to school for 12 years and still cannot speak the King's English, cannot write cursive, can barely print proper English and talk like trash from San Fernando Valley, dude.
Most cannot even do their own laundry.
Alot do not have a clue how to wash dishes...(doesn't the dish washer do it ??)

Well, I agree with everythnig you guys are saying. Did you know that they are talking about no longer teaching cursive - that is what I heard.

BTW, I am a mean mom. I boys do their own laundry and knows how to (much to their distress) do dishes...by this I mean load the dishwasher, wash whatever is remaining, and wipe down the counters. My 9 yo dd has recently started on emptying dishwasher and she is expected to do her laundry. She has recently started having to seperate her nicer clothese and washing them on delicate and then hanging them up. I also limit TV. Like I said....I am a mean mom. I want my kids to leave this house with some basic living skills. I

I think mean Moms rock. After all I think that being mean should be part of the Mom job description.

Why can't you have caffiene free coffee or sugar free coffee candy ?
YUM I love the hard coffee candies.
It is insane all the stuff 'they' say you cannot have while pregnant now !
My DiL could not have any cheese !
She had a list longer than mine of dietary 'no nos !!
