Kelsey was in the piano room playing a new composition she's been working on, so I crashed on the floor to listen. She's passed me up eons ago in terms of playing the piano. I keep telling her that manual dexterity is something she's inherited from her surgeon dad. She needs to make sure to give me proper credit when she gets up to play Carnegie Hall.

Elijah came in and stretched out on the carpet beside me. He is such a bright, cheerful kid as a rule, but right now he's going through a phase where he's constantly second guessing himself and feeling guilty about everything. Brenda is at her wit's end trying to know how to deal with a kid who struggles with knowing what is right to do and what is right to think, but keeps 'confessing' he's not. I suspect he's probably going to mature a little earlier than Nathan did in many ways, but along with that comes a extraordinary moral sensitivity that needs to be guided gently and reassured often. This parenting thing is tough! Like Dr. Dobson's book says, "Parenting is not for Cowards" - I certainly agree!
