His energy is frightening.....

I cannot believe the amount of energy Emery has these days. I get tired just watching him. Of course watching is minimal since Emery requires near constant engagement. I understand, he just wants to get good time in with Mom. If only reading wholly satisfied his thirst for MomTime after a long day of work...

Today we went to the park. There were some kids throwing a ball and Emery was mesmerized. They let him play, which was a godsend. He ran around after the ball, and the older ones even tried to give him a few tips. Very cute. After about 15 minutes the oldest , who was say 12, came up to me, sat down and said "Whew, your kid's quite the runner- tired me out!" A 12 year old! A fit 12 year old. Emery played for another hour and a half at full speed. Sometimes I think he's been slipped speed or something. Scary, very scary. What's in store for me the next few years? Will my energy hold out? Time will tell, time will tell.
