Most of parenthood is a blur of diapers, cleaning, and running around.
Every now and then, however, you realize that your kids are growing up.
Appropriately enough for Father’s Day, I took Tonka and Paco to their first swimming lessons of the season this morning.
Paco, for the first time ever.
Tonka, without any parent accompanying her.
They both did great…and I took a deep breath, if only for a second, and appreciated the slight push I gave them towards standing on their own two feet (or swimming on their own as the case may be).
My perspective hasn’t changed since last year, just gotten deeper.
