That's what they tell me and I have come to believe it. Especially when I taxi my kids around for 100+ miles in a day. I'm totally not kidding. Yesterday, Saturday, we ran Rett to his church basketball game at the stake center (Cobb County), then I took him from there to his swim certification for scout camp this summer. After that, we headed back up to Cherokee County. We had to stop by the sporting store to get Rett some bigger, more coverage, Lacrosse gloves. Not cheap, but considering he used his last pair for 4 years, I felt confident we'd get our monies worth. Hopefully at least they'll last him through high school. From there, we swung by the house to convert from basketball player/swimmer to Offensive Attack (Lacrosse). Coach has him trying a new position. Off to Lacrosse practice, thankfully just down the road so I could return to home intermittently 'til pickup. So all this running around made me thankful for time with Rett. In less than 2 weeks, he gets his learner's permit. We are excited to give him that independence. Yes, I said excited! So I'm relishing in this last year of time with him. When he gets his license, we'll try to see to it that he has a designated set of wheels to get himself around and help mom/dad with chaufferring. I have had some of THE BEST conversations with him, when in the car...hence, I'm Gonna Miss those times when I get to lean on his ear or we have a really personal conversations I could have never imagined occurring.
