An un self conscious tale from the It is hard to know sometimes what to do in the moment….This past weekend Marcus woke early and hopped onto the bed ready for some serious TV watching. He knows that “things” happen before tv. Maybe 3 sets of scales on the piano, or he has to read, maybe we just talk to each other. It is such a great time when he is highly motivated, because he knows his reward is the chance to rot in front of the tv. So this past Saturday morning he grabbed a pair of my safety goggles put them on and said “So, what would you like to talk about?” I wasn’t sure if I should die laughing, burst with cuteness or stuff all of that down and actually talk to my kid. So, I said “Let’s talk about our day” In my best poker face I said “Hey, nice glasses. Can I take a picture of you?” “Sure” and so I captured this moment of my unself conscious 7 year old forever.
