glimpses


You know how it is… you wonder if you are really getting through to those kiddos.  This applies to school at our house as well.  Then you have mornings like today. 
Up at 5:30.  Groggy.  Moving before your feet touch the floor.  Shower and dress.  Grab and go.

“Mom.”  Sleepy boy speaks.  Still slurred.
“Mornin’, Bud.”  Whispered.  “I’ll see you up at church after breakfast.”

“Mom.  What are those things with lioras?”

“Huh?”
“What are those things with like or as?”

“You mean similes?”
“Yeah.  I have one for bowling.  I speed the ball down the alley like the wind.  It hits the first four pins and sends a ripple of pins crashing down like waves.”

“Buddy.  That’s a poem.  You want a title for that?”
“Oh yeah.  Bowling with Similes.”

Adorable. I love that you wrote it down and will have a way to remember those special times when your son is grown.
