He is quite the introvert. During the school year, we don't get a lot out of him when he is at home. As an introvert, he has spent almost every ounce of energy during his 9.5 hours at school. #workingmomproblems So when we get home we get a lot of one-word answers. I get it...it took me a while to get it, but I get it. He's an introvert. He needs a while to recharge.
When we have full days together, he does a lot of talking. I mean a lot.
One day he looked at me and said, "Mom, you know Christmas isn't all about Santa, right?" I told him I thought I knew that but to help me understand better.
He launches into a very detailed about the 'reason for the season'. I keep very quiet which for anyone who knows me knows that was difficult. I let him explain the miraculous birth that happened so many years ago and the baby that was sent down to save us.
When he got done, I guess he is used to me talking more than listening. He looked at me with his little head cocked to one side and said, "You get it?"
Yes, Luke, I get it. I am so glad you get it too.
