Growing pains, leaves, and the restoration of Monkey
Growing pains are part of life, yes? And I'm talking about more than just the boys' shins hurting at night. I say it's their bones telling them to go to sleep, since a person can only grow while they're sleeping. Seems to go over pretty well. No, I'm referring the kind of pain stemming from a "this is for your own good" experience. One that teaches you a lesson you aren't soon to forget. Trey. Oh, my Trey. Sweet as a Christmas cookie, sharp as a tack, scared of his own shadow. Any, any variance to routine or unpredictable situation, and he just loses it completely. Enter the first grade class musical performance of fall 2013. A living nightmare for Trey. Not only will his typical school day be interrupted for the purpose of rehearsing, but said rehearsals will happen on...a stage. Yep, a nightmare. He tried hard to skip school, though after a similar incident last year, we were actually prepared for this. Score a rare one for the parent...
