If you know me, you know I love tennis. The U.S. Open has been such a treat to watch this year. Awesome match just played by Venus Williams and Jelena Jankovic. Now Roddick vs. Federer. Late match it will be and my eyes are burning tired beet red from the last two sleepless nights with the baby. Honestly, the Oldest had to wake me this morning and it took me half a minute to focus, realize what day it was, what time it had to be, and that I had to actually move my body out of the bed. He was dressed, bed made, teeth brushed, hair fixed and saying softly, "Mom, it's time to wake up." eh? Who is that young man standing in front of me? Is he the one who used to yell at the top of his lungs when he was two from his firetruck bed, "Mom can you HEAR me?" when he was supposed to be sleeping at night? Is he the very one who sent me over twelve rainbows on Saturday night at the ballgame and pushed every button my body is known to have? Yes, I think he is one and the same. But um, I digress, I do think I was just talking about tennis and oh how predictable the subject turned to my kids. Sorry.
Tennis totally gets me all happy and excited. Love it love it love it. Wish I was there in NY. Two years. The Oldest will be more in control of his behavior (all nodding your heads up and down with me, right?) and the Littlest will be an angel of a four year old (again with the nodding eh?). This is my hope. This is the plan. Right. Hell if they can't even sit together nicely at a baseball game where yelling and screaming (even if it unnerves their poor dear mother) IS allowed, sitting at a TENNIS match where hushed voices are much preferred and no moving allowed during point play is just not going to happen right now. Not in one million years.
Here are my angels all clamored together at the ball game last weekend. You know my boys and the other three in the background are like my own too. May as well say so.
Icing on the cake for the match I'm watching....Andre' Agassi is commentating (is that a word) the match. That voice....
