It has been so fun watching the 2010 Winter Olympics as a family. We have entered a new era! As a family we actually all sit down and watch the same thing and enjoy it collectively. Previously when the kids were smaller we would try to watch the Olympics but someone was always toddling off somewhere and the little ones had no interest and wished we would watch some cartoon instead. The desire to actually watch the Olympics was a little bit frustrating. Now all of a sudden "poof", attention spans have been developed no one is toddling to the danger of the stairs, we sit in anticipation as a unit waiting for the next Apollo Anton Ohno race to begin. The golden years have arrived I think. I wish I could press the slow motion button.
Saturday night mid-bliss I tearfully glanced around the room and realized that next Winter Olympics: Adalynne will be 14, Joseph will be 13, Eleanor will be 10, Sam will be 8, and Maren will be 4. I don't know why I think so far ahead. But, it does make me appreciate today a little more so I think it is beneficial. And, the Alex Brodine family is seizing this year's winter olympics. Do do, Do do, Do do do do do do! (The Olympics Tune)
