Emotions, feelings and the written word

I am both awed by her, and moved with emotion. It melted my heart.

Finn made this note for me yesterday in the car as they dropped me off for work. It says, in her own hand and understanding of the English language, "It is not the same without you." I was near tears. It's also the longest sentence she's yet written by herself, by a mile. And she pounded it out in a matter of a minute or so.

Awed, inspired, and moved all at the same time.

I love being a parent to my children.

The warrior in pre-school

Jeremiah's first day visiting his new classroom. He wore his armor and brought his sword, charging yelling into the school. Then promptly took off his armor, grabbed the toy cell phones, climbed on the horse, and says nothing to anyone. As we were leaving, he put back on his armor and mounted his steed. That's my boy. First day shyness will be gone in no time, is my guess...
