Congratulations!
10 yr old boys are usally ok. Its when they hit 13-14 and discover girls that things can get odd, in my experience.

Congrats! I have an 11 yr. old boy (my youngest child & only boy), he is a pretty great, easy kid. He is into WWE wrestling, so anytime theres a show on he is master of the tv. I have to force him to play outside a lot, he's more into his gameboy & playstation games. He's messy, but has nothing on the girls!! You'll do fine! Is he excited too?

Good luck .. lol. Mine are 8 & 11 and my 11 year can run you through the ringer (both girls) .. they both have their moments, but the oldest is at the age where she tries you non-stop.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them. Distance and time may separate us but friendship and memories won't.

So true! I did forget that part, my son never stops eating. That's not a joke, he always has food in his hand or mouth! He is very tall and wears a 14 reg. pants so he's by no means even a little chunky but if I ate the way he does I'd be bed bound!

he DOES eat alot...scared me at first!! lol! grocery bill went WAY up. he loves the tv...wrestling is a biggie! LOL! My big peeve is the why? question to everything we tell him...and the arguing about being right....He loves it here b/c he is the only child (use to having 3 siblings) and we LOVE him too!! We are thrilled!!
