As the Banks boys' spring break comes to a close, I am reflective as to the peaks and valleys of a week of break with one parent home. There winners and losers and survival of all is still in question as of the writing of this entry. There has been bike riding, fort building, dirt digging, hole making, hole filling, book writing, fit throwing, take outs, time outs, trips and polar whips. The words "hey dad" have been said an estimated 1500 times over these five days. Chris and Daddy have come to terms that daddy will not be the one who teaches him how to tie shoes. Patience is a virtue which daddy is ill supplied in such matters. I am sure that I will look back fondly on this time, this quality bonding time. But as for now, several hours of complete silence would do this father good!
