Yesterday I was drying Aidan's hair (my two older boys have super thick hair that would freeze into icicles if I didn't dry it during the winter months.) As I brushed it out near the end of drying, Aidan shook his head, declaring, "Nah, I don't want to be that handsome!"
A few minutes later we were all watching Olympic skiing. Aidan declared his intention to be an Olympian someday. We encouraged it. I remember aching to be an Olympic gymnast the year that Mary Lou Retton won her gold. I want my kids to feel they can do anything, that they have no limit on what they can accomplish. Why take the fun out of that feeling?
