sooo, cooper has been working on four molars all at once…the process has been up and down with fevers and runny noses…and those diapers…you know the ones you can smell from the other side of the house…yah…
those…
in fact, right now he is on a 5 day streak…for the last 5 days he has produced one of those to start his day right…it’s not something he can fix…it’s not something he can clean up for himself…it’s something that he has no control of…and no matter how bad horrible those are, daddy cleans him up…
(if you know me…you know that i think a little differently…and of course you know that this would get me thinking…)
sooo, i’m thinking about how similar this is to life…countless times during my life there have been those things that happen…it’s not something i can fix…it’s not something i can clean up for myself…in some cases it’s not something that i have control of…and of course in some most cases it’s something that i have had complete control of…but regardless of how/why those things happen…it just flat out stinks!!! you have any of…
those…
i’ve been reminded of the fact that no matter what is going on…no matter where i find myself…no matter how it is that i got there…no matter how bad it stinks…i have a Dad that is there to clean me up…He is there to take care of me…
the coolest thing during this streak we have going, is cooper’s response…he’s obviously not happy…he’s usually crying and screaming when he realizes what has happened…he keeps it up as i’m cleaning him up…but then when i’m done…there’s a smile on his face like no other…he is READY TO GO…
sometimes i can get out, “one, two”…and he responds with “teee” as i pick him up…but other times he just starts saying “teee” as soon as i’m done…and he keeps saying it until i pick him up…he wants to get up and get going again…he doesn’t have time to sit there and think about what has taken place…he doesn’t have time to sit there and think about how bad it stunk…he’s READY TO GO!!!
that’s where i need to be right now in life…i need to be saying “teee”…i need my Dad to pick me up and get me going…even if i would say that this time in life is one of…
those…
sooo, my word for today…and the days to come “TEEE”!!!
