"Today!"

If you think you are seeing a naked boy in our backyard.

You are.

There is a story.

 

On this day, Bobo and I had been wrestling with his listening ears.

Bobo is so busy in body and mind.

At times, I have to say his names several times, have him look at

 me just to get his attention, to know he is taking in what I am saying. 

 

One area of struggle is picking up.

My desire is to raise a boy who takes care of his things

to become a man who will lend a hand.

 and one day his wife will be blessed.

 

I just sometimes wonder does he hear me?

Am I getting through?

I sometimes see that he totally gets it and then other times I am not so sure....

So I ask (kinda rhetorically, kinda not) as I am filling up his bath water

and he is ready to get in.....

 

"When are you going to start listening?'

"Today."  He responds.

He then went right outside naked and proceeded to pick up.
