Great Job I'm not banded yet, but hope to be soon and hope to have the results your having

So what color is you hair? Did you go for the autum leaf look I hope so - its a great look

A check out - is a check out, girl. And remember, your brother-in-law is a guy first and you Brother-in-law second. The great thing is he knows he shouldn't be checking you out being he is your husbands brother and he did it anyway because he couldn't help himself and you caught him. That is awesome!!! YOU GO GIRL THAT IS A NSV Be proud.

Just in case. Thanks again for all your support

I'm new to this and am thinking about getting the Lap Band, but I'm very nervous. I have two young children. I'm looking into to DR ABKIN. Anyword on him? I'm hoping to attend a seminar this month

We must have been typing at the smae time, I'm so gad to hear you will not be sending her early

My high school went for grades 7 - 12 I was 13 when I started my freshman year, soon to be 14, I was very popular. Most of my friends were sophmores, who were 15. They all had their driving permits during my freshamn year and were driving my sophmore year and I was driving with them at age 14. I wasn't worried about the fact that I would be the last to drive, I didn't need to, all my friends drove. Freshman year, age 14, I attended my first senior party and was caught drinking with my friends more than once. I also was dating a very popular senior. All of my friend were smoking pot and having sex. I was the last one to have sex at age 161/2, end of Junior year and I never smoked pot. I know what you are thinking "WHERE WERE THEIR PARENTS" All of our parents were very involved in our lives, they were at every game, planned events in the school, some of them were our teachers and coaches. I wasn't allowed to be at house were parents were not home. That didn't mean we were not in a bedroom upstairs smoking and drinking. We were also very involved in the school, we all played several sports (field hockey, softball, gymnastics, cheerleading, tennis) key club, student council, nat honor society, spanish club, french club, year book editors, band members, acted in plays and designed the set. You name it, we were a part of it. We were the "good" girls, the trusted girls, the "popular" girls but that didn't stop us from being the party girls. My friend were always older by 2 or 3 years. Don't get me wrong I would have gotten into trouble sooner or later, but It probably would have been easier on my parents if I was a bit older. Trouble should be age appropirate (sp). If your daughter starts to hang with the older kids now, you won't be able to stop it later. When they are driving, going to the prom, are allowed to stay out later, wearing make-up, dating, going to the mall alone - those are just some of the issues you will have to deal with. My daughter also started kindergarden at 4 but soon to be 5. At the end of kindergarden, I was asked if I wanted her tested to skip 1st grade. Then she would be 12, freshman year and some of the sophmores would be 15. No way, I couldn't do that to her or myself. She is now in the 4th grade, she is a social butterfly, gets straight A's, is a bit of a tom-boy, involed in Dance 5 days a week, Softball three out of four seasons, and Brownies. My daughter high school years are going to be very difficult for me. She is a year younger than the kids in her class. She will find her trouble and I will deal, I just hopes she stays friends with the kids in her class and doesn't find older friends. One year makes so much difference at a young age. A two year gap would be way too much. I really do not even leave my daughter alone in a room with her cousins that are two, three or four years older. She doen't need to hear what they are talking about. There are lot of kids that are more advanced because of what they see at home and lack of parenting in her class. I know I made the right choice. If your daughter is not challenged enough in school, ask the teacher to give her more challenging work. The books that she reads can always be at a higher level. I just had to pre-read a book that my daughter wanted to read because it was in the teen section at the library. I read it was fine for her to read. Except one line " if you believe that, then you must think Mrs S Clause is waiting for us with gifts" I whited that line out -- and wrote If you believe that you must believe pigs can fly -- I know, I know it was a library book - but my little girl still believes and someone elses child might too. I'm glad I pre approved the book and will do so in the future if she continues to read books ahead of her level. Anyway reading the book was great beacuse now we can talk about it. She is also reading a Harry Potter book. My cousin in 4th grade used to read books by Dean Koontz, she loved them her dad would read them first and then they would stay up nights talking about the books. Take her on special trips muesums, broadway, nature, civil war stuff. So much of learning takes place outside of the classroom. The other kids will grow and if not that is okay. Keep her involved with all different things and different kids, keep her self esteem up and she will be fine. Your right to be making this descion based on the future. I know this is a lot and I am new here, but I hope it helps.
