The Boy is Almost A Man
In times gone by I would get down on the floor and show The Boy some new wrestling moves to try out in practice or his next match. Now when we get down on the carpet, he is he one showing me moves. And he hits them much to well for me to counter. I don’t feel old but I’m still adjusting to the fact that I can’t compete with him any more. And not just in wrestling. In addition to being a better wrestler even though I outweigh him, he runs faster than I do too. And not only does he run faster than me now, but he runs faster than I ever did, even when I was young.
And, with his recent victories, The Boy has now won more wresting matches this year than he did all of last year. And that is despite the schedule being much more difficult. (It’s “easier” to get more victories when you advance further in tournaments.) I am amazed as I sit in the stands and watch him handle opponents who he would have lost to last year. He’s making quite a few highlights for the family photo album. And, he’s on the honor roll too. Now if I could just get him to clean up his room.
Clean his room?!?! Then he would be perfectly wonderful and what would you do with him. Happy New Year to you both. It has been a wonderful year for us all.
Rosie: I’m not asking that it be clean every day. That would make him super-human. But I would like to see it everything picked up and put away every once in a while. Happy New Year to you. We wish you the best in the coming year.
And if you figure out how to get him to clean his room…share you’re secret…
Kelly: Nothing seems to work for that one. It’s easier to convince The Girl since she wants to do so many things with her girlfriends.
