Today we had the orientation at school for Tyler and Alex at school. It does look like they have a couple of teachers that will be a good mix for them. Unfortunately the youngest child, who is only three, is wondering when he gets to start school as well.
The youthful anticipation of a child brings and the lack of understanding that they display is what reminds me of how precious this time in their life really is and it was in ours. Sometime I look for ways to to recapture those moments in whatever way I possibly can through them.
Today I found myself helping the boys create some mischief in the grocery store and mom was not very pleased at first. We started a game of placing things in the buggy that we wanted that were not necessarily items that were on the shopping list. If you are a parent your kids have done this to you, if not you are wound way to tight. I just joined the party!!
We were able to get to the checkout line with some goodies us guys can really appreciate. As I sit here eating this bowl of ice cream with chocolate syrup, sprinkles, whip cream and cherries on top it makes me remember why we don’t need to rush growing up and sometimes need to take the opportunity to try to recapture that age of innocence even if it is through our little ones.
