Balancing Act

Both of my kids are great photographers.  Sometimes when I can't think of what to write, I like to randomly upload a picture and see what kind of story pops in my head.           

The fact that my son even noticed a small snail on the ground does not surprise me. He has always been laid back and down right slow.  While taking family walks we would always have to stop to let that kid catch up. We would  turn around to find him crouched to the ground looking at bugs or ant hills or even grass blowing in the wind. His one year of playing t-ball found him in the out field, glove on top of his head and spinning while looking at all of the bugs in the air.  Sometimes I wish life were still at that slow pace.

My daughter is quite the opposite. She is always in a hurry. She even talks and drives fast. She was a dancer for 16 years. At the grocery store this kid was 5 feet ahead of me tap dancing down the isle. I figured that as long as I could hear her little feet moving, she was ok.

So there I am, one child moving at lightning speed, the other slowly observing everything around him and me in the middle just trying to balance everything out.
