Ok, so the simple things. What I don’t have time to absorb…. my oldest child and his interests are just passed over so often. He’s indpepndent, he is able to take care of himself, and since the twins were born he has at times seemed to pass into the background, though he is a firstborn. This is what he did this weekend….he went shooting with some friends and his dad, but made the extra effort to bring along his government book so he could photograph himself exercising his 2nd Amendment rights. Then, he sent these pictures to his teacher, who is shall we say not so into guns or the 2nd Amendment. I don’t particularly love guns, but I love to see him grow into his own person….with his own likes, his own interests, his own relationships, his own opinions and convictions. Tonight he is going to show me how to clean his gun. I’m so excited to pause and listen.
