Delighting in My Kids
This was a work day, but since Sarah needed to work today, I worked at the kitchen table. This really slows the work down I have to tell you. I have had both boys in my lap at different times today and my daughter always has something new to show me that she has made. Right now my youngest is dancing around the kitchen and singing. Not bad considering that he has had a bad cough and running nose for two days and my middle child threw-up twice in the night last night.
My point today is that I really enjoy my kids. Sarah and I are constantly remarking on how unique each one is. My oldest is so creative. She makes crafts and creations that we marvel at. She loves to make cards and elaborate cut outs.
My second is so sensitive. He flees from stories that contain emotional tension. He also is very imaginative, telling deeply involved stories replete with detail.
My youngest is the sports guy. He runs, he dances, he plays ball, any kind of ball. He wants to be doing.
They all share an enthusiasm for life and a joy of reading. That is really cool. They also love to spend time together (most of the time).
As I said, Sarah and I so enjoy spending time with them and getting to know them. They do wear us out and I will never claim that they are angels, but they are a joy.
Now I need to go, my youngest just informed me that my computer case was in his way as he wants to shoot hoops. :) Also, I'm going to go make supper for the family tonight to give my wife a break since she was up with a sick boy in the night.
