Do you realize how special this was??!! How many moms could sit down and have a wonderful conversation with their sons like this? Seriously - cherish your kids Tam. I love your family moments!
OK, suppressing and denying that I will have to have these conversations in a few years. They could be freaks of nature who stay 6 and 4 forever, right??
Wow, so I don’t have as much time as I thought I did to formulate some thoughtful way of explaining all that is going to have to be explained to a girl….hmmm…
I noticed the hygiene issue there too with the string cheese…but have to be honest, Kota, I thought I saw you do something there with your nose? Maybe I was wrong…just looked like you…well…
Pete - Oh Yes it is! And we expect to see videos of your hilarious moments too
Mandy - just keep telling yourself that dahling
Papa - I was thinking that while Kota and I were having that exchange…how blessed we are to be so real with each other. Sometimes he’s too real and I wanna run…but for the most part…priceless!!!
Julie - there has to be a way we can stunt them, shellac’em and prop’em up for our viewing pleasure
NE - ha!! Yes friend, you are stronger than a 6th grader
Lori - yup. he did. And at the end we were referring to his belly-button. It was filled with all shades of dirt. i will do a lot of thngs as a mom. But I will NOT help him clean his navel while he’s showering.
nuh-uh. nope. never.
Brian - He’s been asking us that question for almost 2 months now. Hysterical! None of us have ever been willing to get that close to look!
Tam - I gotta admire Kota’s courage. My 14 yr old would sooner die than show his pits on the Internet! You are now, officially, the coolest family I know (well…not really know….hmmm…..I guess after this I can say know!)
fancy pants tip of the day: my dad used to tell all of us girls in the family that if we ate our vegetables, we’d grow hair on our chest…we would subsequently DIG IN!
Try that one on for size!!!
well, to answer your question, Tam…I remember crying for hours when I still hadn’t seen any chest hairs, no matter how many cooked carrots I ate. True disappointment.
That video is SO awesome. I wish I had taken a video of my son when he found his first pit hair. He was soooo excited. He had one long hair. ONE. He was so afraid it was going to get pulled out somehow, someway. Hysterical.
I can’t get over how much you and your son look alike. Wow.
I found your blog through some friends and i LOVE it. I started out with the MTTV blogs and had to bookmark it…now this with your son…priceless. First of all, he’s a doll…and it is so cool how you guys are with each other AND hilarious…keep up the great blogging, it brightens my day!!
i don’t ever recall being as excited about ANYTHING as your Incredible Son is Tam - if ever there was a Joy for life!….
I clearly recall being less than excited about my head hairs as they began deserting me one by one.
Kota - enjoy ‘em while you can, Man!
I loved it when you cracked up at seeing it (them)
I can state categorically that NO-ONE ever laughed at the sight of my body hair - although some have very favourably commented on my ‘cute’ tummy hair !
Me and my Kota just had a huge laugh over this He’s 15 now. We’ve had the “look, Mom, see???” conversations as well. Especially now that he has to *gasp* shave! But I’m so the kind of mom that runs after him pullin on his little chin whiskers yelling “how did these whiskers get on my baby??!!” or when I see him without a shirt, “what the heck is all that hair doing under the pits of my 3 year old??!” LOL!
“there has to be a way we can stunt them, shellac’em and prop’em up for our viewing pleasure :D”
Maybe that’s why I had 5

I love it! Glad to know someone else posts embarassing videos of their kids!
This is so hilarious!!
I really started feeling old when my son’s pit hair came in.
But worst was when the chest hair came in at 14. OMG!!
Thats when it struck!!! I’M old!!
Chest hair at 14!!! Yikes! If all this could transpire w/out the odor - i’d be much better with it
Brandi - yup! it’s fair game around here
Everyone…check out Pete and Brandi’s boy doing some karaoke!
It’s awesome!!!!

fancy pants tip of the day: my dad used to tell all of us girls in the family that if we ate our vegetables, we’d grow hair on our chest…we would subsequently DIG IN!
Try that one on for size!!!
Oh the reasons why I love you! You crack me up!!
Jenny!!! hey!!! Awww - I love YOU too!
Cathi - So. you WANTED hair on your chest?
I’ve heard, from women much older than me (yes, Mandy. There ARE women older than me!) that chest hair can be an issue in time.
Why Lord?
Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?!?!?!?!?!?!
I laughed. That is so funny. He’ll have more body hair than I do soon.
well, to answer your question, Tam…I remember crying for hours when I still hadn’t seen any chest hairs, no matter how many cooked carrots I ate. True disappointment.
Cathi…that is so funny! What a great childhood memory!
Toto - Hey chuckles! Well he already thinks he has more than B!
That video is SO awesome. I wish I had taken a video of my son when he found his first pit hair. He was soooo excited. He had one long hair. ONE. He was so afraid it was going to get pulled out somehow, someway. Hysterical.
I can’t get over how much you and your son look alike. Wow.
This is so cool!!!!!!
Tam, hug him as much as he’ll let you, even if he has a not-so-pleasant smell, because very soon…TOO soon…he won’t let you get that close…HUG HIM!!!
Heather - I know. there’s like a lot of fuzz and one long one. It cracked. me. up!!!
Michelle - i do. I really do. In fact. he is a snuggler. he LOVES to snuggle with me. still!
Is this what I have to look forward to?? So glad #3’s a girl!
Just kidding I love my boys and all their gas, burps and other noises 
I had a feeling you did…just want to be sure…they grow too fast.
My snuggler usually growls these days.

Heather A - HI!!! I’m so glad you commented! I’m especially glad the sidekick in those MTTV vids didn’t scare you off
Thanks for your kind words! Kota, my son, is pretty cool. We love to hang out. My girl rocks too!
Glad we could brighten your day!
Do you have a blog?
UMMMMM WOW! That was hilarious!
And the best part, when Kota smiles, I TOTALLY flashback to Kota as a tot. Seriously. It’s ingrained in my memory.
I love it!
heehee
Totally not as, um, personal as a pit hair, but I plucked a GREY hair from Dylan. GREY! He’s 4! And it was seriously grey. What’s up with that?! :???”

Bwandee - you’re giving Dylan (90210) gray hair already?!!! I thought he was supposed to give YOU gray hair!
Alece - you KNOW you want one. I mean come one. you could have a girl that turns out just like Mandy.
wait.
no.
you don’t want one.
Love, do you remember your first pit hair? I mean…were you THAT excited??!
i don’t ever recall being as excited about ANYTHING as your Incredible Son is Tam - if ever there was a Joy for life!….
I clearly recall being less than excited about my head hairs as they began deserting me one by one.

not a clue.
nope.

Either that or it’s Mandy’s fault
