My husband and my oldest left for their outing this morning around 10:30. What surprised me was that my youngest didn’t pitch a fit about not being able to go with them. I think he was still enthralled with his Christmas presents.

An hour later, he started bugging me for lunch. Of course I was right in the middle of an emotionally charged scene with my characters and getting nowhere. So, I abandoned my computer and took him through the Drive-Thru.

We rarely have any one-on-one time together. My oldest is very verbal and demands a lot of social time, where my youngest is quiet and independent to the point where he sometimes gets overlooked for his brother. Today was his day.

We played Scrabble and several games of Chess. I love his exuberance and his competitive spirit. His skills continue to improve, and soon he’ll beat me at Chess. Scrabble is another story. :)
