Yesterday I had what I call a flash forward. A small glimpse into my possible future. In this glimpse, my boys had grown and become responsible and wonderful young men (just the way I raised them).
When O got home, he was very concerned about the preschoolers in his school. They are housed in the same building as the Middle Schoolers and he wondered out loud why they would put those sweet little 2-5 year olds in the same building as "those big gorillas that need to shave twice a day."
Later he told me that those children had the easy life, singing and playing all day. But he was remarking that when they all put their arms through a ring in the rope that links them together, they looked a bit like prisoners.
He cracked me up. He also played right into my flash forward :) My sweet responsible young men ... budding already.
Then on our evening walk, T rode his bike (recklessly) straight into the lake. He completely submerged and both he and his bicycle literally disappeared for seconds.
I guess we're not quite there yet. This isn't our first lake incident, and it's doubtful it will be our last.
