Day 47 in 2023

We stayed late at robotics so the drive team could practice. It was raining much of that time and the car was totally coated in ice when we came out. My sweet kid told me to sit in the warm car while he cleaned it off in the cold rain. I did my side anyhow, because it’s about taking care of each other together, and when we were done he wanted to go help his friends, too. Sometimes (often) I’m painfully proud of him.
