Naturally

Happiness is listening to Mark chat with Emma and Braeden and Owen while they all play Minecraft virtually together in the world that Mark created.  Mark having created a world feels like it's on brand for him. That one likes to build and he likes to be large and in charge.

It comes naturally to him.

There are a lot of parts of teaching that come naturally to me.  I am pretty good at organizing and planning.  I am a good explainer.  I have no problem finding good books to read or recommend.  I am great at tying shoes and applying bandaids. Loving them comes pretty easily too.  I have honed my mom voice which does a fine job of stopping recalcitrant students in their tracks.  

Here is what does NOT come naturally:  learning the dance for the dance festival so I can then teach them the dance for the dance festival.  There is a reason they have our boys dance in the back row when they are in musicals and they don't get it from Adam.  Now I'm teaching a dance?

How did I get here?!?
