Flashback Friday: The Dichotomy That Is My Sons

It's not very often that I participate in the blogger games, but today I am taking part in Flashback Friday. I am sure someone is doing this somewhere, so let's just say I'm doing it with/because of them. I chose to flashback to exactly one year ago today to see what I was doing and if anything had changed.  I'll tell you at the end what I found out.  Here we were March 12, 2009:

The Dichotomy That Is My Sons






Son 1: Coming home from school
Son 2: Going to school
Son 1: Being home
Son 2: Being at school


Okay, how does this compare to the present.

Same: Dad is out of town today & nobody likes it. Different: But nobody's crying.

Same: Son #2's pockets are crammed with Legos, rocks and other detritus. Different: Don't think he is trying to ward off anything with it.

Same: Son #1 still needs have his people around him. Different: No squeezy ball needed to cope!

Same: One son doesn't want to go to school. Different: It's not Son #1.

Same: All three of us are about to enjoy another rapturous, torturous day. But ain't they all that way?


  1. Isn't it funny how kids who come from the same parents can be so alike but yet so different? All 3 of my boys have very distinct personalities! You're such a good mom! The picture is precious!

  2. This was fun...

    I'm thinking my blog tends to be one giant fllashback : )

    Loved your mom post yesterday too!

  3. The picture tells the story. Thank God we are all different :)

  4. I had to smile as I read this. You know your sons well.


Whaddaya think about that?
