Common sense is the most fairly distributed thing in the world, for each one thinks he is so well-endowed with it that even those who are hardest to satisfy in all other matters are not in the habit of desiring more of it than they already have. -Rene Descartes
So, our boys are pretty active, to say the least. And they love being physical….climbing trees, wrestling, running, etc. Of course they do know when to be gentle and calm and orderly…..I think. :) But every day seems to have its share of collisions, accidents, and booboos. For example, yesterday Jacob and Nathan were riding their bikes and ran into each other (just for the fun of it), and both ended up with skinned knees. Experience is the best teacher, I guess. So, I decided to count the number of bruises and scrapes on their legs. Total count (including all the little ones) for all three boys = 19 bruises and 11 scrapes. What in the world! Of course they found some sort of pride in counting all of these scrapes and bruises too. Badges of honor perhaps. So I’m thinking about opening a training camp for professional extreme sport athletes (parachuters, rock-climbers, cliff-divers, etc). They could come to our house and just watch our boys play, make notes, and attempt to implement the new techniques in their various sporting events.
