I often sometimes feel that I have to constantly defend I-Man as he is seemingly the only boy amongst all our family and friends children, and at times receives what I feel is an inordinate amount of blame for any incident that ever happens with all the women (girlz) cousins who he is with. Of course, the fact that he is not yet 10 years old, but wears size 12-14 clothes perhaps influences people to think that he should act older than he actually is.  But when I see him, I see a young kid who is intelligent and perceptive and at times carries is emotions on his sleeve, so to speak. And you can see him get confused and despondent when things happen that he really feels wasn't his fault yet gets blamed for because the perception always seems to be that he was doing something to hard, or too loud, or too whatever... when actually it is the girls who instigated, and did something to themselves. His sister has become very adept and trying to manipulate everyone to get her brother in trouble and I am going to have to start clamping down on her constantly trying to tattle on him, and doing things that they would both get in trouble for, but blames I-Man for instigating, when he typically follows her actions...anyway, yesterday we did get to spend time with cousins Madison and Meredith at the park. And I am always happy to have them get together as I-Man is very fond of his cousin Madison...
