Thanks for the laugh...the tell tale heart reference was priceless. That would be hard to see though I'm sure. 4th grade!!! That's so young!

oh, mama. do i ever hear you on this one. our 8 year old started wearing deodorant a few months ago (!!) and while his armpits are still bare, 2 nights ago he spotted a couple of hairs "under the hood". i felt both weepy and panic-stricken at the same time. even worse, though, was when he asked me to turn off a black-eyed peas video because "this is making my private hurt". omg! damn you, fergie! (and that one was BEFORE his 8th birthday). he also has visible wispy hairs on his upper lip. ALREADY. his uncle (my younger brother) was actually SHAVING at age 10, so puberty hit him *early* and i shudder to think that my baby boy will have the same fate.

Yep - it's that freight train you just can't stop. Having a 15yo and a 12yo, I can totally empathize. One minute they are your little boy, the next, wow, not so much. You will be fine. Just deep breaths. I thought boys would be less emotional than girls at this age, but I dunno not so much.

YIKES!!!

Join the club. My nine year old has all sorts of puberty going on, and definitely hair in places I'd rather not know about. Ugh. At least the body odor hasn't started yet... that's pretty bad, and I've just got a girl! It is supposed to be a lot worse in boys.

Eve had hair in various places for at least a year before anything else happened - it's proceeding much more slowly than I expected. But yeah, that was pretty much my response, too.

Hope he has a great time at camp. It does seem like many kids are maturing at much younger ages.

I hit puberty very early, but I hope my boys don't. First comes the pit hair, next thing you know they'll (gulp) stop thinking girls have cooties. ;)

Sigh. I think I have a few years left. My boys are 31 months and 14 days old, respectively. Though my oldest is already checking out the girls. . .

I think it is easier for boys, than girls, no? Because, my god, I would never want to go through *that* again. Oh, wait. I soon will, with menopause!
