"That's okay, Mom, today I'm being really flexible."


When it happens it's just magic. Concepts. We've been working on them. One at a time making our way through different words, different concepts, different actions. Flexibility was the key word a few weeks ago. We haven't moved on to emphasize something new yet; I've been a little preoccupied...more on that later. For some reason son #1 R, who is just five, likes to have you trim his toenails so that they are barely hanging on and he can pull them off. A matter of control I suppose because as any parent knows all small children really are in charge. So tonight I clip one and it comes off completely. Oops, sorry about that R. "That's okay, Mom, today I'm being really flexible."

Today it's toenails, 20 years from now let it be something equally as significant in his life.
