week 10.

I love to watch my Jim playing with his boys.  One night this week I sat on the back porch swing to observe baseball instruction. I'm not sure which gave me more delight - Aidan's intense desire to do it all "right" or Jim's treatment of his boy as an equal.  I love that there is no "talking down" in his vocabulary.  To him, when it's time to teach new concepts or skills, Aidan is a little man.  I looked back & forth between the two - father, son - 34, 5 - teaching, learning - and was humbled by the twilight glimpse at this developing relationship.
