I’m Sure I’ll Make Time.

“Mom, when can I go running with you?” Hawkeye asked me this week.

For the thirteenth time.

“I don’t know.  Maybe this weekend.”   I replied.  “So.  Why do you want to run with me so much son?”

Because I want to hold your hand while we run.”

    Oh goodness! That might make me exercise on a much more regular basis! In our traveling we stopped at a gas station and Tristan said he needed to go to the bathroom. Without thinking as we walked passed the other filling spaces, I grabbed his hand. You know, because it was dangerous and we were at a sketch gas station at night. He pulled his hand away from mine so quick it shocked me. I said, "No sir! I am your mama and I am allowed to hold your hand!". He giggled and stuck his hand back out. I didn't make him continue holding mine because I realize he is actually safe to walk beside me; no chance of him darting out like a 3 year old. It did make me sad, though, that we're already at the point where he is 'too old' or I am 'not cool enough'. Sigh. Enjoy it!!

      Oh I know.
      This week at co-op I tried to give London the "i love you" sign and she looked away, averted her eyes andd tried to do a quick sign back with her hands still in her lap.
      So sad.
