The past few days have been a bit of a three-ring-circus! You might think I’m complaining… I’m not. It’s just true and analogous to the… let’s say, colorful weekend we’ve had :). From dizzying reconnections with family long over due, to the pandemonium that is the homecoming experience, to the lively weekend sports’ schedule.
Each of these happenings of course has its own protracted back-story but I’ll try to summarize succinctly.
Dizzying reconnections:
When pressurized emotions stream out of a kid like a loose fire hose after seeing the father she’s been alienated from up close and personal for the first time in four years, it’s worth taking a closer, psychological look. Period.
Pandemonium homecoming:
Parental communication is critical when planning for manis/pedis, group photos, dinners, transportation oh, and… shoes. Comfortable shoes. Hashtag – toldya.
Lively sports:
Notwithstanding the health and mental benefits, children are taught life skills through sports like accountability, dedication, leadership, confidence, discipline, and commitment. Our kids thrive when they’re being active and we are ecstatic about the boys finally being back in sports after two years off – even it means early mornings, traffic, over-times, and different fields – bring. it. on!
Just some Sunday ramblings and a glimpse of two days inside a blended-family life. Now we’re off to enjoy what’s left of our weekend together, sans any more circus acts :).
More to come,
Tanya B.
