One of the things I am most grateful for in this last year is that both of my kids found and really leaned into a new area of interest. My older one seriously got into computer science, especially low level programming and is slightly obsessed with emacs. While I love and adore and use emacs, I don’t know nearly as much as he does and I’ve never done assembly coding.
My little one is into hardware and is now taking a class that has him doing three small projects. As he was working on this week’s project, I was super excited to see how quicky he could move from the idea to execution phase and he prototyped the idea in less than an hour. Something I know nothing about and could never have done.
It is one of the greatest joys of my life to see my kids exceed my knowledge and expertise. I love watching them thrive. I love learning from them. I love seeing them become their own people.
Yes to being present to it all.
