I am sitting here today in a small conundrum. I had a post all ready to go about patriotism and teaching your kids pride in the country but I just couldn’t publish it today.
You see, the old cliche’s about how fast kids grow up is slapping me in the face like so many cold fish from that old Monty Python sketch. go ahead and watch it, it is only 15 seconds.
I have known for well, 10 years now that I someday will have a 10 year old. It was inevitable. Time doesn’t stop. I have been trying to talk about it a lot lately to get used to it. Today however, the big fish hit. We have been preparing for Leatha’s birthday party. Her first slumber party. Today is the day and it just hit me that my daughter is getting this close to being a teenager.
**editors note, for some reason this didn’t post Monday or Tuesday and I didn’t check it. Pretend it is Monday to read this. You could then pretend it is Friday and get a head start on the weekend.**

It has been a busy weekend! We spent all day yesterday decorating the graves of our Grandparents and my wifes Father.
Last weekend, we decorated my Great Grandparents graves. I know it may be obligatory, but I really like to see the cemetery filled with flowers, yellow ribbons and Flags. It is always a good thing to remember those who have gone before us.

I have been trying to decide how bad it is to wake up with Disney songs in my head. Not any of the traditional songs from any movie but one from a princess collection DVD that we have. I don’t believe that it has even been played since dialysis almost a year ago!
My point is this: how much time are we devoting to the minutiae that encompasses our kids lives? I know that most stay at home parents will know their kids fairly well. Nuances of speech and mannerisms can tell you more about your child than you realize. For those who work, how much do we actually know about those nuances and can we recognize them?
