This is what happens when we are on a TV break.
Quiet moments of play. Books being read. Pictures being drawn. Little giggles spilling around the room under peach-colored blanket monsters. Life blossoms in the rare moments on Diagon Alley or with car races on a quirky wooden straight track.
Summertime is a challenge for a single mother who works for herself…especially when she puts her child on a TV hiatus. But I will miss these quietly simple moments as summer comes to a close. And my heart will ache to remember this almost-9 year-old silently satisfied little boy again one day.
So for now, we treasure the days we have filled with art projects and car races and train tracks and pancakes at 10:45 on a Tuesday. Because tomorrow comes way too fast.
