Well, we finally got a break in the weather today (it has been raining off and on for two days) and the kids decided they wanted to walk down to the playground for a while. It is nice living so close to the school that we can do this more than we do.
We got there and and of course Sarah Kate found a few little girls to run and play with (she has never met a stranger) and Corey and I hung out on the swings. For a while, we were swinging next to each other in complete silence. With Corey, you can do this. He does not require you to talk the way Sarah Kate does. He just likes to know you are there.
Corey then began telling me about this spelling game he learned in class this year and we decided to play. It was so great to spend this time with him. Laughing and enjoying each other without me being too "embarrassing" for him.
So many times, parents think they have to go do the big stuff..spend lots of money..buy your kids stuff to show how much you care, but in reality, it is the little things that they remember and are grateful that you do for them. Thanks Corey for spending time and giving me the greatest gift, your love and attention....
