12 seems so young, 7th grade sounds so old
Youngest has taught himself to swing...
it has taken him over a year -
All that time with one of us trying to describe the push of the feet.
The pull of the legs...
We each got frustrated trying to teach him something that seems so instinctive -
He just wasn't feeling it.
And then, yesterday...
it all came together - in his body and mind.
He flies.
And I am happyproudsadafraidexcited.

Maybe I should buy him a skateboard next? And then get myself some really good anti-anxiety meds?
P.S. Go Youngest go!
How splendid for Youngest.
The pictures are amazing- what camera do you use?
Is that an army hat he is wearing? My Noodle Boy wears his in the pool and shower-so I'm thinking-shame we are not neighbors- these two would be friends and I would like that very much.
Hope the weekend is a good one.

I remember swinging as high as possible and then JUMPING! I loved it, and now it makes me cringe.
What a sweet boy!
I found you through Corey. Your poetic words and etherial pictures really hit home today. There is something in my life I've been working hard on, but it just seems to elude me. Much of life we work on our dreams and it seems like were never going to get there but, If we're willing to keep practicing like your son, have great teachers, and most important we don't give up, one day were bound to turn a corner and bump into our hearts desire. I needed the encouragement today more than you know. Thank you
