news shot
I get a call from local news reporter Larry Himmel that he would like to interview my son about his “above average” abilities. My first worry, “Oh my, I need to clean my house, it will be on the news!”
Guest blog today by Nana Trudy, or should I say Rockford’s #1 gal! She really is the apple of his eye. He counts the days on his weekly calendar to see when he will get to see her again…it never gets old.
They say each kid has his or her own personality. Some kids are very mellow and easy-going. Then there are kids who are very energetic and leave you feeling like a tornado just struck the room and you feel tired just watching them. Some kids crave the stoplight and want to recite for you everything they know, while others shrug and hide behind their mom’s leg just to escape being the center of attention. Some kids pay attention to detail and carefully pick up their toys, other kids don’t even notice toys tossed every wich way and want to kick and squash every thing in sight. Thank God for all these differences, chances are you probably recognize one or more of your kids’ personality here. Some will use their personalities for their future tasks, callings and/or carriers. I don’t want to jump ahead of myself, so I’ll just focus on how some kids are blossoming into their future adult self as we speak.

Can you relate to this or what? I thought it was hilarious as I know Rockford and daddy always get into a negotiation when dinner is ending for us and Rockford has yet to touch his food. Daddy, “Take 4 more bites”. Rockford, “How about 2?” Daddy, “How about 5?” Rockford, “How about 4?” That’s right, Daddy always wins. So what’s your story?
