Hello friends, I hope all is well in your world.
Sometimes I used to wish that there was a manual with chapters that could answer questions about raising my sons, questions like when was it a good time to teach them the basics.  When do we teach them how to cook and clean or manage a household? When do we teach them how to write a check or pay a bill?  Do we teach our daughters differently than our sons?
So many questions ran through my mind and now with them starting college in a few weeks, and the youngest leaving home for the first time, a strange question popped into my head, does my son know how to peel a potato?

				Hello friends, I hope all is well in your world.  Today is my oldest son’s 22nd Birthday and I still have his baby teeth!  I have a plastic shoe box that contains both of my son’s baby teeth and my baby graduated from High School last month.  I guess it’s time to trash them, or perhaps I should ask them both for a refund!  What do you think?
		
		 
			
			
		
	
My grandmother kept a pair of my baby shoes, but I never saw any of my baby teeth or bags of our “first haircut” hair, so I am sure it’s time to throw them out.
		
		 
			
			
		
	
 
 
		
		 How long should you keep the children’s baby teeth?
