O pOt4n~l/O,~
L/'L 6,
When our children were toddler
through preschool ages I adored them,
of course, I thought them terribly sweet
and smart and I was occasionally
amused by their actions or conver-
sations.
Basically, though, I remember being
extremely tired most of the time from
the attempt to keep up with them. I
remember being drained a lot of the
time from trying to keep ahead of them
and from worry about their safety.
They are older now. The concerns are
t ffferent. Now that ours have passed
that "terrible two's" stage that parents
never quite forget, I can enjoy the
pleasures of the actions of children that
belong to others.
Our little cousin, Alexandra Wall, is a
case in point. Being unbiased, as you
can guess I am, I feel free to point out
that Alexandra is an extremely smart
child for her age. Like most extremely
smart children, it takes a lot to keep her
occupied, much to the wear and tear of
her parents, Peggy and Bruce.
We were at a church supper the other
evening. Alexandra's parents felt she
was running a little wild and situated
her at the table with us.
There was a group of about ten adults
at the table carrying on light conver-
sation. AJexandra was sitting quitely in
her chair, occupying herseff as children
do.
"Bruce," her mother said to her
father. "She had untied and taken off
her shoes and socks."
Peggy was a little indignant but I
thought it was very cute. I wondered
what else would have been gone if her
• mother had not noticed her nrom'ess.
Alexandra loves our Amy."That is
natural. Amy is 17, just the right age for
a little one to look up to. Fortunately,
Amy responds well to children and
spends time with them.
They went to a volleyball game
together the other day. Alexandra was
explaining her situation to Amy.
"I don't live in Granbury anymore,"
she said. Alexandra's father has recen-
tly transferred from Granbury to
Athens where they will make their new
home.
"Oh, you don't?" Amy responded.
"Why not?"
"Because those men came and took
all our furniture away in a big truck,"
she explained.
