What a proud parent does?

by

So, there’s the looming talk of “candy at school” but thus far my son doesn’t seem to be any the wiser about how the whole “no more candy” came to be.  I’m trying to be objective, I’m trying very hard not to be immature and send a note saying “it wasn’t a complaint, it was a violation of policy, please get it right”.  And, thus far, I have many other things going on in my life that I don’t have time for that.  The truth is, I have an amazing post coming up next where I am going to need your advice in so many ways…but first, I have to share the fact that I am excruciatingly proud of my children. 

Both of my kids are healthy, happy and smart.  That is what I deem to be the absolute most important aspects of life.  But……on a teeeny tiny side note, I was so hoping that my children would be athletic and I know that is so very shallow of me, but I played sports.  I didn’t excel like I should have for several reasons, one of them being that I didn’t get to play sports when I was young.  And, at the same time, I don’t want them to feel the pressure to participate.  So, it is most definitely their own decision and will always be their own decision.  But, please, just look at this guys…..doesn’t this make you all goooey inside.
