My son and I have very different energy levels. As much as I love him and am fascinated by his endless liveliness, I often find spending time with him exhausting. I catch myself wanting to retreat just to recharge. To balance that, I try to intentionally spend time with him each day when I know I have enough energy to be fully present.
Today we went into the woods together. He proudly read the information boards aloud to me, we made Himalayan balsam seed pods pop, and we tried to push each other off the path. Exactly his kind of fun.
It was really, really lovely 🤍
