Owen can, at times, be a strong-willed little guy. At times, I can feel my hair becoming more and more gray! But, there are also those times when he just makes me smile and proud to be his mom.
Today, we were driving down Hudson Road here in town. On the outskirts of town, there is a large open area with a pond in the middle. Owen says something like "Mom, there's a big area over there with the grass cut short and nice calm water in the middle. It's really peaceful water. I think that one guy who died would have really liked it." I asked him who he was talking about, having absolutely no clue what was going on in his head. He replied, "That King Jr. guy, you know, the one who got shot because he wanted peace." Light bulb moment....I said, "Do you mean Martin Luther King, Jr.?" He said "Yeah, that's him. He would have liked the calm, peaceful waters....", then he added, "...if he was still alive now or maybe he'd just be really old by now."
So, even in those times when he is having a not-so-fine moment, I've got this to hold on to....:)
