Where will this little foot take him?: Eyes Up Mom

Eyes Up Mom

Most days, my eyes are downcast at that little foot. Watching, processing, analyzing.

But some days, I need to take a break from that. This video shows exactly what I mean.

The boys wanted to go to the neighborhood rink Friday to skate. Their third time on skates, first time in an outdoor rink. At first, you can see how terribly turned his little foot is. How he struggles. Then, for a few seconds, you only see him from the waist up. All of a sudden, everything is just right.

Eyes up Mom, even if it is just for a moment. Eyes up and enjoy.
