This post is me attempting closing in on fiction. My 55 poem this week is about the things you say, and the things you do, and the reasons why. It could be me talking, but then again it could not. I would never drive my kid to school since we live next door to his school... I don't think I'd drive him if we lived far from school either, to tell you all the truth. In that case we would probably just take our bikes. Save the environment and all that, you know. Anyway. Recently I have noticed that I tend to say things like "come on" more often than I say things like "I love you" and "Come here give me a hug" and I don't think that is a good thing. I mean, look at my baby. He is so wonderful. So perfect. He deserves all the best. I love him so much. I need for him to know that. Does he know that? Oh, I hope he does.
55: Let's go
Come on.
Let's go.
Now.
Here.
Put this on.
Let's go.
We're late.
Hurry.
Here.
Careful.
Seat belt.
Please start...
Come on!
Thank you.
OK...
Alright, we're here.
Watch your step.
Careful now.
Let's go.
Got your bag?
Here.
I know.
I love you too.
Have a nice day.
I'll pick you up at 2.
What you say is important. What you do is even more important. Give him a hug, touch him with love. He will know.
SvaraRaderaquilly: Thank you. I agree, what we do is even more important than the things we say. And I do hug him a lot. :)
SvaraRaderai can feel the rapid pace of a late morning...nicely done jo...

SvaraRaderaHere's mine Take Pleasure - 101
Have a super terrific weekend.
We need to slow down and give our undivided attention to our loved ones in the same way we always say we should slow down and smell the roses.
SvaraRaderaNice, very nice 55.

I remember when my kids were in pre-school and the first couple of years of grade school I said "let's go" more than anything else. Well, it's better than a lot of other things I could have been saying, and I did at least get a few "I love you"s in there. It evens out in the end.
SvaraRaderaThat's funny.
SvaraRaderaWe in this nut house call it The Departure Time-warp. Always goes that way.
Nicc 55. I like it. Sounds like me in the morning.
SvaraRaderaYour 55 perfectly captures the runaway train that is life with small children. I'm glad you take the time to tell your handsome little guy that you love him. That train whizzes by so quickly. One day soon, before you know it, he will be off on his own train, and you'll wish you still had the opportunity to hug him every day.
SvaraRaderaTrust me on this; I know.
My 55 is up here.
That sounds pretty much like a universal morning with young kidlets. Of COURSE he knows. You show it in so many ways... and can't undo it just because you're in a hurry.
SvaraRaderaI love the honesty in your post. I am sure your son knows exactly how much you love him, he sure is a cutey!
SvaraRaderaSherry: Thank you. I hope he does! I think he does! :)
SvaraRaderaAnni: Thank you! :)
PG: Thank you so much. :)

Sandy: You live in a nut house, you say? I know the feeling! :)
Alice Audrey: Yes. :) It could be a lot worse...
