The apple doesn't fall far....

Sometimes I think "damn, my kids are nothing like me!"... I'm  not talking looks here, I'm talking personality :)... But yesterday Cole was being Cole... :)

My kids are NOT athletic...They don't ask to play on a "team" sports... soccer, baseball or basketball etc...
So Cole had a "play date" at a friends house and their computer needed a little fixin'... So Cole being Cole(and instead of "playing".. well they played a little!) went and fixed it!! Cleaned it up, and got it back "online" again.. downloaded a new browser too! (We love us some Google Chrome!) He's our tech guy for sure! He does a lot of tinkering around on the computer(he knows WAAAAY more than I do about them!!)...he would much rather do that than play soccer!! And sometimes I worry... He's not like other little boys...

This morning I was thinking (did you smell that!!??) I was thinking about "who" I was as a kid... I wasn't hugely athletic...but I played tennis, rode horses, played field hockey(goalie though) and then it hit me... I wasn't a "team" player either!!(and some may agree, I'm still NOT) I played things that were more "one on one" I wasn't drawn to playing WITH a bunch of kids...but in more smaller groups with a LOT less competition! I built "Fairy" houses with my best friend Katie and made haunted houses, "talked" to the trees!...oh and we thought we were witches as well ;) (see I was "different" too!) Witches, HA!!

... I certainly wasn't like other girls... and most will agree yet again, still NOT!
Cole is an amazing, wonderful, kind, FUNNY as HELL "different" little boy... My little apple!..which btw, I hope he works for some day ;)
Now go be who you are!
