MARVELOUS MIDGET: Tony Hawk to Michael Phelps

Well hey there y'all!!!  Been awhile, wouldn't you say?  Ya, I'm still uncertain if the blog life is for me...mainly because every time I go back and read a posted blog (ya, ya, 1 of the now 3) I find something I want to change: grammar, a better word, sentence structure and well, ain't no body got time for that!  But I did have to take time out to gush and brag (although it ain't braggin' if it's the truth!) on my midget (H1)!  This weekend he reminded me just how awesome of a little guy he is and incredibly lucky I am to be his mother:  #1 He's a fantastic big brother: not only did he share his precious 4-wheeler with the lil one (H2), but he actually took the time to PATIENTLY try and demonstrate how to drive it!  Hell, my parents weren't that patient OR nice when giving me driving lessons at 15!

#2 He's an incredible athlete!  At some point on Saturday he caught a portion of the Xgames on television...so Sunday morning he got his midget skateboard and immediately started doing midget skate tricks...I mean c'mon he's not even 5 and just picks this stuff up by watching professionals on television for a few minutes (here's a football midget, now let me introduce you to some guys named Brady and Manning)?!?

And then if that wasn't impressive enough he just took off swimming a few hours later while on a quick trip to the neighborhood pool...seriously who does that?  Ya, sure he's had swim lessons (LAST summer and the one prior) graciously and patiently given by his G-Mama, but the last lesson was over a year ago (essentially a quarter of his of life...I'm **cough, cough,** 32, **cough, cough**...I don't know that I could just pick up and do a skill that someone showed me 8 years ago...could you?).  The hubs and I were in the "big pool" and I happen to notice the midget zipping from side to side of the midget pool and got out to make sure he wasn't you know...drowning, and holy hell he was SWIMMING from side to side!  

"Hey, uh midget, do you know you're SUH-WIMMING?!?" 

From Tony Hawk to Michael Phelps all in a span of a few hours?  The midget is certainly destined for great things, now if the hubs and I can just be patient enough and have sense enough to guide and foster his talents... So often we as parents worry about our kids fitting into some "mold" that social media, blogs (pot calling the kettle black?), internet, etc. have created that we lose sight of our midgets being simply AMAZING just the way they are!! And, while they're not perfect, they don't have to be!

Until next time (I promise I'll try and post something a lil sooner than 2.5 months from now...someone please hold me to that!)...Keep it Classy!
