Had breakfast with my Tyce buddy this morning. Gil and I just noticed over the last few days that he was out of sorts. I realized I had not had enough one-on-one time with him lately so we hit the trail for school early and stopped at the Cozy Corner.
One of my goals with my kids is to build a lot of simple, small memories that have big, long-term impact. Having breakfast isn't revolutionary or splashy, but I am certain that he'll remember these types of moments over the long haul. We had a great time talking about swimming, the new particle collider in Europe, his school and old stories from a great science class I had in high school. By the time I kissed him goodbye at school, I could see his "tank" was full.
One of the biggest battles Gil and I fight is staying up with each of our kids one-to-one. We don't want our kids to be known to us only as a group but that each knows they're loved for who they uniquely are as well. I think that is a pattern of the heart of the Father that the Spirit prompts from within.
