Sensitive Sons
It's "Slice of Life" day. I posted a piece of writing every day in March - and over the rest of the year we try to post every Tuesday. Just a quick little reflection on the nature of sensitive sons. Yes, we all claim we want to have boys who are more in touch in with their emotions, right? Well, some days I'm less sure of that than others. I am the proud owner ... er.. mother of two highly sensitive boys. The oldest is 10, but has become incredibly moody (does puberty really start this early?). The other is 8, and is a button pusher. You know - the kind of child who can always find those buttons that make other people crazy? Ah, perhaps you are seeing the problem now, yes? The older son has REALLY easy to find buttons right now, and I get the brunt of the crazy. Then we have the added joy of the change of the seasons, and the nearing of the end of the school year. Why are those two things problems for my sensitive sons, you ask? Season changes mean clothing ...
