1. You will hate that they learn to roll their eyes after everything until you can not see them do it.
2. They need too much sleep, but even when they are 13 you will go in their room and watch them just as you did when they were a toddler.
3. They are always nicer for other people and soon you realize that is a GOOD thing.
4. They are often acting the same way you do so be careful how you respond to things.
5. Spend as much time as they will give you they grow up so fast.
It seems like yesterday I had a 6 year old, 1 1/2 year old and a preemie baby at Christmas and now I have a 13, 8 and 7 year old kids and it has flown by. A little nostalgic today, but this is fun. It is always fun to remember why you love who you love (esp. when they spent time in their rooms for hitting each other all night last night).
Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, Bren - thanks for the great TeenE tips; you might have to remind me though. ;-) I LOVE the still going into their room while they're sleeping...
