Breakfast With My Oldest
By
This morning I had breakfast with my oldest son. And not just any breakfast, but we went to Cracker Barrel!!
Last night I decided to let my wife and youngest son (who was home sick) sleep in as they were both tired last night.
Well, I woke John up and he got up and got ready pretty fast. It’s always amazing how fast the kids can be when they know they are going out to eat. He even beat me downstairs and packed his own lunch!
Anyway, we headed to Cracker Barrel for breakfast. And it was great. We purposely (on my end at least) left the house early so we would have plenty of time and wouldn’t feel rushed.
We ate, we talked, we laughed. I was able to really dig in and talk to him about who he is as a person – what he likes and what he doesn’t like. I asked questions like what would he like to do different. Play more sports? Buy more video games? What do I do that embarrasses him? What opportunities does he feel he has?
It was a great time and we had great discussions. He’s an awesome kid!!
