Worry


There's always worry in parenting. It just sneaks up sometimes. Things are rolling along then, without warning there's something bubbling up. But what I'm noticing is that kids are more resilient than we think. And that I shouldn't project my worry on them. Because even though it kind of stinks that other kids aren't always nice to your wonderful , kind, silly, creative children, they will find their way. And just when you think they are so upset that nothing will get them out of their funk, you look outside and they are laughing and goofing off and climbing trees in the neighborhood. And then suddenly you have a whole different worry on your hands. Because it would be really inconvenient to have someone break a bone when your orthopedic surgeon husband is out of town. Excuse me while I go tell Sean to not climb quite so high in that tree!
