My Son, the Scholar

March 19, 2006 Kim Tracy Prince 4 Comments

I’m pooped. This morning I awoke at 4:30 to join my friend Amy and ride our bikes on the route of the L.A. Marathon. We made it all 26 miles! With almost no training! Mama’s still got it.

I’m also coming down with the cold that Stewart has had for 9.5 days. Kyle started a runny nose last night, but it’s not slowing him down at all.

He’s bopping around the south wing, checking on me at the computer at regular intervals, in between destroying the contents of his room and destroying the contents of my office.

And every now and then he is quiet in his room, which is when I worry and get up to check on him, picturing the smearing of feces or the dismantling of tubes of ointment. Both times I went in to check on him, however, I found him reading. The first time it was “Hippos Go Berserk” and the second time it was “Baby Faces.”

He makes a girl proud.

    Luke is usually reading in his room when it gets quiet, too. And Baby Faces is such a favorite that it even has teeth marks on it. The true sign of a good book!

    So… I wish I would’ve known that you were doing the marathon thing… Gina’s friend Ellie (they met while doing the SF marathon) ran the whole thing, and Gina joined in halfway and ran the second half. We could’ve met up! Although… they finished way later than you probably did. Hmm.

    Aw, mann, that’s so cute.
    I’m impressed with the marathon thing.
