Somebody has taken over my son’s body…

My son told me two magical sentences today:
Upon asking for a TV show to watch, I asked him, “What would you like to watch?”  He answered with,
“Whatever you want to put on for me, Mommy.”

My Accident Waiting to Happen….

Well, I have heard of moms who spend lots of time taking care of their childrens’ wounds.  I have talked to parents who say, “Just wait…” 
I am starting to realize this situation.

I didn’t see it–I miscalculated–what else can I say? 
It punctured the tire.  It bent the wheel.  It scraped up the door.  I ripped metal off of my car.  It was ugly…
(oh, and AJ–It has been [...]
