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.

Day 43 in 2023

He gave up piano when he became a public school student. It was an agreemnt we'd had—that he could quit if he became too busy—but it broke my heart all the same. He has SO much talent, he just hate practicing. And I've loved watching him grow his other talents this past year for sure, but I won't pretend I wasn't thrilled when he decided to pick it back up in order to join the jazz band at school.
