My favorite moments.
Jul. 12th, 2014 09:20 pmMy husband, L., is a high school science teacher. Before we married, he was used to working with older kids, but he's been a really brave person to come into our lives and parent three boys. Sometimes he has a hard time dealing with all of their energy (as do I). Sometimes we both grumble about how nice it would be to ship them to Africa for a little bit so we could sleep in.
But my favorite moments are when he starts discussing science with the boys. Even Littlest and Middl'un will sit raptly and listen, and he will patiently answer their questions. Tonight we meandered outside to see the "Supermoon", and now, even though it's past bedtime, they've been discussing plate tectonics and the interior of planets, the composition of atoms and nuclear fusion.
And it's just a beautiful thing, to watch them eager to learn and to watch him eager to teach. It makes my heart swell up, because I like to think these are good memories that they will carry into adulthood.
