It is so much fun to be a parent on the days when your kids are learning something new. To see their eyes light up with pride is enough to make any parent’s day. Colm came home from school today reading. He was SO proud of himself and he read those same words over and over and over again to me in the car and then to Sean when he came home from work. It was great! There were high fives all around. Then to see Liam at Tae Kwon Do today. He is working really hard to get his first stripe. He is going to try and get it next week and I think he will. One more thing and then I will stop bragging about our children…Colm is a rock star ice skater. I am serious. He isn’t going to be in the Olympics any time soon, but he is doing awesome. Even if he wasn’t doing great, what makes me smile from ear to ear is that he is trying something new and he loves it. Being a parent can be the hardest job on the planet, but there are days like today when you get paid in smiles, hugs, high fives and accomplishments that make it all worth it.
