It doesn’t take a grand gesture to remind each of my children how much they’re loved.
It was just a few hours into a surprise mother-son trip to Disneyland when my 6-year-old put his finger on why we needed this getaway so badly. “I don’t think I’ve ever spent this much time just me and you,” he said, still somewhat in shock we had boarded a plane to Southern California when he thought we were going out for burritos.
When I became the mom of more than one child, I often found myself focusing on the needs of my youngest and assuming the oldest could be self-sufficient until I was available again. It’s easy to let the helplessness of an infant and the disaster-prone antics of a toddler absorb the bulk of your time and attention.– need their moms just as much as their younger siblings, even if those needs look very different and may be largely unspoken.
is obviously taking “special time” to an extreme, but I thought he was the perfect age, and honestly I knew I’d have as much fun as he would.The logistics of planning both our travel itinerary and the itineraries of my younger kids in my absence was exhausting, but the look I captured on his face in the car when he found out where we were headed made it worth every second of prep time.

Man Who Likes To Be Jostled Moving To CityENID, OK—Local resident Spencer Cravel announced his plans to move to New York City Wednesday so that he might pursue his passion for being jostled and bumped around. “For a guy like me who enjoys getting jostled, bopped, and knocked from side to side by hundreds of strangers all pressing forward in a pointless hurry, New York City’s the place to be,” said Cravel, who first discovered his love of getting shoved from every direction as if in a herd of cattle while exiting a professional basketball game. “I’ve been to Chicago and there’s some good jostling there, especially around the El train entrances early in the morning, and I hear Tokyo has some top-notch jostling, but here, in America, if you want to be jostled, and I mean truly good and jostled, you got to go to New York City.” Cravel admitted he was relieved he’d no longer have to seek out jostling spots in his hometown, saying he’d grown tired of the “rinky-dink” jostling he experiences when trying to reenter his local movie theater after a film has just ended.
