"That was fun". Simple words that rolled off Isaac's tongue. Words that are worth remembering. Today was a "guy" day, which meant my boys and myself were taking a little time together. Time they deserve. Our house and our time has been dominated for the past 3 weeks by our newest member. Josie is great, but so are my other kids. Kelly and I felt the boys deserved a little attention, so today they became my focus.
"That was fun". Words that filled the car ride home after a day of snowboarding. The unexpected timing of these words make them so memorable. The words suddenly appear and I realize they still thrive on time and attention. They , like Josie want to be loved. So our time today served its purpose. It allowed them to know that they are as every bit as important today as they were when they were born. When that focus is on them, their eyes shine and we as parents realize that the time spent together as a family can never be replaced. It is so easy to lose focus in our hectic lives, but suddenly, "That was fun!" can bring a little perspective to our lives.
