 (Un)Happy Meal Turns Into Happy Connection From Anonymous I recently posted in JustAskBoo sharing my concern and seeking advice about my four-year-old son who refuses to eat. Not only did I receive a lot of great responses, but I ended up corresponding with a JABBER who shares an experience almost identical to mine. We emailed one another several times and soon realized that we had a lot in common. In addition to her son having eating issues that I could relate to, our sons are the same age, born on the same day, on the same floor of the same hospital! We got our boys together for a play date and look forward to many more fun times together. If you've made a special connection through JAB, click HERE to share it with us.
