  • Jan 4, 2016 - I'm not sure why I bother closing the bathroom door. Inevitably, one of the 4 ninjas in the next room opens it, walks across the bathroom, comes up behind me in the closet, and it's always, Always, ALWAYS when I'm in the process of pulling up my pants. I turn around still not knowing someone is there and jump out of my skin as I see Adrian standing there with a smirk on his face telling me, "I saw your nuts, Mommy."

 I remember a couple years ago when Javi made my heart swell telling us he wanted to be a "Prizer" when he grew up. A Prizer, he explained, hands out prizes to people, and he always wanted to make people feel happy. This past year, he traded in his Prizer ambitions for a career as a "Candy Thief". I thought, "Oh man, is this how it starts? One day he'll be sitting in jail for B&E, and we will be beating ourselves up over the Candy Thief aspirations he expressed as a 6-7 year old, which was CLEARLY a red flag?" (I'm exaggerating a bit 😉). Lately, the boys have been so into creating treasures from things they find in our recycling bag and from miscellaneous odds and ends around the house. They have brought me some of the coolest, most interesting and creative items that came straight from their imaginations, and everyone that knows me well knows how I love nerdy behavior. This evening, as I was making dinner, Javi brought me his latest creation. As he set it on the counter and told me I should put it on my bedroom nightstand, he repaired the tiny fracture in my heart when he said, "I don't want to be a Candy Thief anymore. I'm going to be a scientist." And just like that, we are back to honorable goals again!
