“Is he going on a crazy psycho rampage creating a raging tornado of destruction?” That’s what younger son said today on the way to Little League. Where do they get this stuff from?
A goal while I am on this little stayation (that’s right…I’m on vacation. I don’t go back to work till next Thursday! Whoo!) is to work on younger son’s conditioned responses. Not the brilliant one he came out with earlier today, but the “I’m the baby and I’m gonna play you” responses. He still likes to hit his head if he doesn’t get his way, he lives to change his mind 30 times in 5 minutes (I want to go with you, I want to stay home, I want to go with you, I want to stay home), and he whips up tears amazingly fast. This boy does not like the word “no” and he’s gotta get over that.
I get to spend so much time with them for the next six days. It will recharge me and hopefully recharge them as we slow time down and do one thing at a time and do it as well as we can. Including having fun. No big plans but rather living by the words of John Lennon-“life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans”. No plans being made…just enjoying life.
And most definitely sleeping in tomorrow. The first day since December when I can truly sleep in and not be late to something. I am giddy with antici…(wait for it) …pation. And sleepy.
