Wow! What a morning! A super good one!
Yes, today was what all mornings should be like. One without fights. One with lots of playing. Lots of role games, lots of imagination. Lots of good loving from brothers who are close in age and understand each other.
I woke up hearing the two of them playing. And playing nicely. No bickering. Notell-tale. I even peeked in the living room, without being noticed, and they were playing a memory game which they haven’t touched in ages. I then tip-toed back to my room to check on emails, before joining them for cereal breakfast–another rare event.
What can all this fun be attributed to? A non-rush morning. It’s true! We didn’t have anywhere to be. We didn’t have school or “graffiti“, to which Phoenix exclaimed, “Yeaaah!” Soccer is canceled for today because of the holiday weekend, and it proved to be a great thing! They were playing til recently, and then as I write this, they are out with dad for a boys’ run on the nearby track. A much beloved but also rare activity.
I guess we should “schedule” more days with nothing to do!
