A moment I want to remember
Today I took Lotus and Lucian to a local gymnastics studio for a holiday day camp. Nate and I needed sometime to get things ready for Christmas and both the kids have enjoyed taking classes here in the past. As I drove them there this morning I realized this is the first time I have ever dropped them off some place together. They are 3 1/2 years apart and are in different schools. Next year we will have some overlap for a couple of years, but then that will pretty much be it, depending upon high schools and that seems like a lifetime away.
I was so grateful for this opportunity this morning. They are so close and I know that they will look out for each other. So though a day camp was a new experience for Lucian I knew they would be fine. When I pulled up at the gymnastics studio I had the opportunity to park and walk them in or pull over to a drop spot and have them be escorted out of the car by one of the camp counselors. They chose for me to just drop and go. I knew that Lotus would help Lucian every step of the way.
They slid out of the car and held hands until they got inside. A Christmas joy if there ever was one.
So my moment of gratitude... my children who came from almost opposite sides of the planet and into this world so differently are, for now, are the closest siblings I know.
