It Felt Good

There's nothing like when your kids are in elementary school and the projects and events that encompasses those years.  The 100 day, where you child is to bring 100 of anything!  Fruit Loops on a string, stick pretzels, stickers, anything.  I love my youngest daughters idea:  100 pictures of herself all glued to a poster board.  (This was not my only indicator that she was comfortable with her appearance.)  Of all the fun activities, my favorite was always the Kindergarten Talent Show.

In kindergarten the talents are extremely amusing.  Sure there are some who are already taking piano.  There are also sports.  My children did a variety of things.  One showed her coloring and art skills with several noteworthy pictures.  She is an artist to this day with a drawing displayed at The Huntsman Cancer Hospital. My son brought continued pride to our family.  He stood on his head.  He was freakishly good at this talent.  He really could just bend over and pop his feet up over his head and stay there for as long as he wanted.  Sure the girl before him played some classical music piece, but my son was on his head!  It makes me smile to this day and I couldn't love him more.

Honestly, when I though of this I tried to stand on my head.  Granted, I'm 51, but I though this was fairly simple and not too physically demanding.  I was wrong.  It hurts!  The overwhelming weight of my body was too much for my gigantic head!  But I could see how if my head wouldn't hurt, this would feel good.  If I had the assistance of an inversion table, this would feel good to my body.  And maybe this is what it was all about with my son.  He was comfortable.  It felt good to be on his head.
