Resilience

Resilience, Jackson's store of it amazes me. Then again, all kids are relatively resilient aren't they? There are times I forget what 'normal' is and compare my son against too strong (or sometimes too weak)a standard. For all I know, this could be something all parents struggle with.

School is really work for him, some days he'd just rather stay in bed (today being one of them) and dad feels like the big meanie for putting him on the bus fussy. Somehow, he is able to put it together and manage his day. What I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall--just to see how he really does. Then again, that might be painful. (Maybe I need a dose of resilience myself).
