Heh heh. I have an 8 year old boy, who has a girl cousin exactly his age - a couple of weeks between them. They have identical bodies, well of course except the private parts. Same height, same build, same coloring, same eyes.... they could be twins. The one difference there is that my son's legs are much much hairier than the girl's. It's a running joke in the family.

All of a sudden (like in the last two weeks) he's eating about 2x as much as normal and having wild crazy emotional outbursts. Either he's not getting enough sleep or lunch while at camp, or growth spurt is coming soon I think.


Its tough to say. But this may be a good time to talk about puberty, body changes, personal hygiene, buy him deodorant, and set a timeline for The Talk (which should be an ongoing conversation IMO).
