Texting with Sean

I have journal entries that I title Konversations with Kellen to record his interesting and sometimes bizarre thoughts on things.  So I thought I would start one with Sean and/or Brooke about our texting.  I hate to text but they text me all the time so I play along.

Anyway, a conversation with Sean just the other day I thought was rather poignant for me and obviously for him too.
---------------------------------
Out of the blue I get a text from Sean:  Do you remember rockin' out "isn't it ironic" alanis morissette when we were little (referring to him and Brooke)

Me: Yes, why

Sean: I heard it today and it made me remember a long long time ago when you were full of youth like me

Me: lol   Who says I'm not still full of youth?

Sean: Cuz I'm already losing mine
--------------------------------------
First of all, thanks for the second "long" in a "long long time ago". haha Second, I can totally still rock out to Alanis or anyone else!  Yeah, that's right, I still got it.  Bon Jovi rules!!!

It is kind of sad in a way though that the poor boy is already starting to feel old.  Although I think he is confusing being tired after a full day's work for feeling old. He is still as energetic as he always has been!

I just thought that it was nice that he has fond memories of his childhood.  I think about that sometimes.  I don't want my kids to have no memories of me because I work a full time job and have all of these responsibilities that take up my time.  When they were little and I was married I was home a lot more.  So I try to make sure that I'm not just "there."  We do things together, even if we are just sitting at home. 

My kids when they were little.  Sean was always such a goof when he had his picture taken. :))

Perhaps every moment older we get, no matter our age ; our perspective changes just a bit... They say you are only as old as you feel, so keep rockin' on and making memories!

You obviously raised your kids well...if you ever had any doubts...because you rock, you know??
