It is MUCH quieter around the place now. I guess I didn't fully realize Zach's lung capacity and his ability to influence the other boys to participate in loudness. Amazing how their listening skills have improved as well. But before I lay too much credit or blame on anyone, I must also face the fact that this is temporary. It will change. They will adjust to the calmness and irradicate it shortly, I am sure. But even Baby Girl has had fewer expressions of temper. WOW. Two year olds really do hold a lot of power apparently!
While enjoying a more peaceful day with the kids, the family turmoil that led to this change is wrenching my heart and emotions. And some things of the future are uncertain, for myself as well as other family members. Life sure "ain't" fair! It is interesting though, to observe younger people learn the "facts of life" the hard way. Eventually most of us conclude that we truly cannot control as much of life as we would like. Sometimes we actually let go of trying. If only we did not have to bear the consequences of other people's choices! If only life were about each of us daily separate from the pain of interaction! And the results of a world full of all kinds of pollutants.
