The energy disparity between me and my boys has always been quite extreme. Since my wisdom tooth debacle and following slow recovery, this energy chasm has widened.
As I slowly walked the boys over to a friend’s house to see if she could come over to play, I was amazed by two things. The first being that since it was my first time outside in almost two weeks, the air seemed lighter and the sky seemed brighter even though it was drizzly with rain. The second, as my boys rocketed ahead of me at intense speed, was how much faster they move through life than me. Even when I was small and filled with that natural energy little people possess, I always stuck close to my Mom and was extremely introverted and quiet. An exciting day for me consisted of listening to my ‘Annie‘ movie soundtrack, doing arts and crafts and lots of time spent alone in my own imaginary, wonder-filled world. My boys are so different. They are outgoing, boisterous and love anything rough and tumble.
Today it didn’t matter to me. Yes, I’m the lady in the neighborhood with the two wild boys.
And that is perfectly fine with me.
In fact, it’s kind of amazing.
