to nobody in particular:
...i am truly blessed...
...i just put Travis down to bed, and was thinking, again, how he is such a great kid...
...he is funny, frustrating, joyful, moody, hilarious, whiny, loving, rejecting, compassionate, selfish, obedient, disobedient, considerate, ignorant, giving and greedy...
...those negative ones above test my patience, of course, but those positive ones are priceless...
...i love him so much...
...i took him to the playground today, and not even 30 seconds after we got there, a boy was upset about something that had just happened, totally unrelated to Travis, and pushed Travis over in anger, sending him toppling over a wooden barrier into the sand area, make him fall head-first, greeted with a face full of sand...
...thankfully (and i say this because maybe not all mothers would have done this), the mom was on top of the situation right away and eventually, after much talking to and many threats, the boy still wouldn't apologize to Travis...
...Travis recovered from the fall quickly and "shook it off", and continued on playing -- maybe not with as much confidence and boldness as normal, but enjoyed himself anyway...
...i felt bad, but proud of Travis...
...he gives great hugs...
-----
..."you learn something new every day"...
...today, i learned: question, receive, reflect, and re-question -- that's not a bad sequence...
-----
...currently enjoying: The Iron Giant
...what a terrific movie...
