It was a quiet Saturday morning and the girls were off to a birthday party together. I had promised Grant some one-on-one time and I wasn't surprised when he asked me to play video games with him. Admittedly, this is not my strong suit and it's not for lack of effort. I miss the video games of old like Frogger, Pacman and Burgertime...the two dimensional games that were easy to master. The games these days are a whole different thing. Gone are the days of the Atari! Now we have a PS4 and Battlefront....an interactive star wars type game. It's hard. I kept trying. I was getting frustrated, but Grant was so patient, offering help anytime he could. Any time I would die, he would say, "it's ok mom, don't waste a life, I've got this, I'll complete the level!" hahahaa! So cute! All the while, I continued to play and give my best effort despite my limited capacity. It was fun. It was fun to just be with Grant and do something that he enjoys so much. I know he loved it and will remember that morning for a very long time. I love one-on-one time with the kids. It's so hard to do it, but when I do, I remember how very special and important that it is. They crave such time. It's a goal of mine to do more of this!
