As the parent of only one child, I'm surprised by things frequently - the relentless work load, yep. But better things, too, like when your child adopts interests that you have or your spouse has. I did not know how sweet this could be - a genuinely precious moment, and reminder, of how much your child watches you and learns from you. Jason loves watermelons, a love that goes back to his childhood. There's some watermelon lore in there - how to grow them, how they grow best, when to pick, when not to pick, yellow meated vs. red meated . . . I could go on. (He could go on).
So it was just precious today at the store when C saw the first watermelon of the season (admittedly from...Mexico?) and he had a total excitement freak out to buy it. He said he and daddy would cut it first thing for lunch and they'd eat it all up together. And that's just what the boys did. Two root beers were added to the mix, and they were set in their adorable, father-son moment.
