Timothy has always maintained a rather robust passion for eating pasta, as clearly evidenced throughout his young life. Tonight's dinner proved to be of no exception.
Let me set the stage . . .
We had finally made our way to the table for supper. Spaghetti for dinner. Earlier in the day, Timothy had gone to his pre-school class (wheelchair and all) for the first day of school, so naturally, we were all asking how his day went.
Timothy began insisting his surgeon (Dr. Van Bosse) had privately and expressly told him that it was perfectly okay for him to go down the slide at recess despite the fact Teressa and I remember the conversation quite differently. He was lobbying for "slide time" on Thursday.
Throughout his iron-clad defense that would challenge any legal mind, Timothy kept shovelling pasta into his mouth at a feverish pace.
At this point in the conversation, I casually took out my phone and discretely started rolling so as to capture the moment. Unscripted moments like this one are the moments we have come to cherish with our kids.
Classic Timothy.
