Anyhow, this past year has been a transition with the big man away at college. Cho Party of Four just sounds weird and each of us has had to get used to missing Andrew. Thankfully, we Skype, we text, we chat, which is all good, but not the same. I miss my kid. I did take over his bathroom though, so there are some perks. Changes aside, he loves living in La Jolla (geez), has survived the rigors of academic life at UCSD and does his own laundry. We're very proud, and not just about the laundry thing!
Do you know those moments when you look at your kids, I mean really look at them. And for a moment, you're kind of separate and you see them as little people in the world. We had well checks at the Peds the other day. I know their projections aren't totally accurate, but No. 2 is on target for at least 6'4", talk about wingspan - skooch over Michael Phelps! Now the size 12 sans-a-belt jeans make sense, he's only 9! No. 3, on the other hand, will probably be somewhere between 6'2" and 6'4", and can I tell you, he's pissed about not being taller than his brother. Competitive little bugger! In the blink of an eye, or at least the not too distant future, my entire family will be taller than me, and I am not exactly a petite flower!
In tune with the rhythm 'and to everything there is a season, turn, turn, turn' - it's springtime again here in NJ. Which means the flowers are gorgeous and the Zyrtec is flying off the shelves. Smiles abound because the snow is finally gone and the spray tan has started to run a muck. The weekly thunder and lightening shows are pretty amazing thus far, as is the hair-curling humidity. Hey, it's life in Jersey, what can I say!
So on the heels of Wills and Kate's nups (see, event centric), have a lovely day just don't blink, because you won't know what you're missing!
xoxo,
Paula
