Sometimes I appreciate moments more in hindsight, like the day above. A day with freedom to just take time with each other, with no set schedule nor must-dos. Now two children are in school all day, learning to meet standards developed for children not my own, whether ready or not.
The day above I observed and soaked in the little details that flow through their very bright brains, noting capabilities and workabilities, praying their teachers understand them and don't feel the pressures to fit them into insufficiently developed molds certainly forced on them.
This week it is sinking in that supplementing and meeting their needs, while keeping up with worldly demands, is in full force -- I have 177 more days to work well with current and major influences.
In hindsight it was awesome to be free in spirit for even a short time.
