Lessons learned

The lessons of life continue to fill my little boy's days and evenings.

Green days have been more prevalent the last couple of weeks. If he makes it through today, he will have done the unthinkable and stayed green an entire week. That means a trip to the job jar, or something. He needs a job. He is, after all, almost seven.

We're learning the ways of live-and-let-live, respect for others, even if they're disrespective, and it all leads to leadership and self-respect.

Got a Christian group on Wednesday evenings for him at the school. Still doing soccer. Basketball is coming up. Supposed to get him in indoor soccer through the Y. Yikes, sign-up for that was last week.

My pride and respect for the growing boy is boundless. I don't know how much longer I'll be able to have the answers for him. He'll be teaching me soon, I know.
