Anniversary Day 1

Since we are moving on our real anniversary, we celebrated Friday night and today. Last night we saw the last Harry Potter and stayed at a hotel. Next to us in the movie theater was a little boy about the same age as our son. As may be expected, we can't get our children out of our minds. This little boy made things worse. We were shocked that a mother would bring such a young child to that movie. Then we began thinking about how passive parenting is a growing trend and how easily negative influences could creep into our kids' lives. We were able to enjoy the movie, however; as well as the feeling that for the next 24 hours, we did not have to be responsible for any children. In fact, we were a little bit like children ourselves. We even jumped on the hotel bed just because we could. It was strange how quiet and peaceful everything was.
