What a lovely recounting. Thanks for sharing your trip and this wisdom. This realization -- that they are always changing -- I keep reminding myself all the time, even now that my kids are adults! Things that didn’t work or didn’t resonate last month might resonate now. They change, we change. It’s amazing.
This is such a growth edge for us too -- navigating when to hold a boundary or stick to a routine, and when to take a leap or a departure and trust that we will all be okay if things aren’t just-so, especially when on an “adventure.” Banchan in Koreatown is especially worth every moment of “wtf!”
"...always changing and growing into possibility." So good, Chelsea. Thank you. You've put into words an experience my husband and I recently had with my 6 and 9 year old boys. I kept saying it felt like they had a new gear this time around. To experience ease in parenting, even if only for a few hours, is MAGIC. We're not ready to invest in replacing the broken furniture just yet (so much jumping!), but we can do a trip! Celebrating with you.

Thank you, Asha!

Yes, at that edge the repercussions of choosing wrong feel high, but so are the rewards (banchan, for one). Thanks, as always.

Thanks so much, Kate. Magic is right. And same here—our poor couch will be with us for awhile yet.
