Now almost 10 and much happier.

Yes, short-lived and apparently due to a growth spurt.

My son has recently become very emotional. He will bring up something minor and burst into tears. It may be something small that happened at school a long time ago or something that's bugging him. He's never been a crier before and says there is nothing going on other than the specific thing he's talking about at that moment. He also has been very hungry and I suspect a growth spurt is about to start. We have never had a crying stage and he's always been a fairly tough kid. Anyone else see this at this age?
